• The new Charles Sturt Global Digital Farm, Food Agility and AgriPark’s partnership with Pairtree Intelligence will be showcased at the Digital Agrifood Summit in Wagga Wagga on Wednesday 11 and Thursday 12 October

Charles Sturt University’s AgriPark, and Global Digital Farm along with partner organisation Food Agility have engaged with Pairtree Intelligence to provide a single point of access for the multiple tech systems used across the farm.

A new platform has been created, which houses all the different data points and systems, as well as data feeds such as weather and market information, and enables exporting of integrated data sets for analytical purposes.

This new capability means the Global Digital Farm offers a more seamless agtech experience for Charles Sturt researchers and students.

Following the success of this platform, a second customised dashboard is in development to provide more accessibility of the Global Digital Farm to industry and the public.

Pairtree Intelligence was founded by fifth-generation farmer and the company’s CEO Mr Hamish Munro. It aims to help farmers and the wider agriculture industry obtain the greatest possible benefits from using new technologies.

Pairtree is enabling farmers, agtech device suppliers, corporate agribusinesses, major industry groups, government agencies and research organisations to utilise data and maximise the benefits of the smart farm revolution.

The company turns farm data into insights to help drive efficiencies and improve decision-making support and confidence.

“As a farmer, access and the ability to juggle and make sense of incompatible on-farm data from various digital devices and services is a real issue,” Mr Munro said.

“Pairtree provide a centralised space where previously incompatible data sets can be used together for the first time.

“This functionality empowers farmers to make better decisions for their livestock, grain, wool, and everything that sits behind the farm gate.”

The new Pairtree technology was recently on display at the Henty Machinery Field Days and will be showcased at the upcoming Digital Agrifood Summit at Charles Sturt in Wagga Wagga on Wednesday 11 and Thursday 12 October.

Tickets for the Digital Agrifood Summit are on sale now and are available online.
