Workshop on precision agriculture and mechanisation in vegetable industry
The mechanisation seminar was held on Wednesday 13 April 2011 in Brisbane. The seminar saw 25 growers brought together to discuss their opinions on where the industry should be investing R&D dollars in the future of mechanisation as it has been organised as a priority by the vegetable IAC. The seminar also served as a benchmark for the industry speakers present at the seminar to assist them with identifying future innovations to their product range that can be produced for growers. The key outcomes of the seminar were that growers desire a catalogue or database of mechanised products from other countries to assist them with researching.
