00:00:06,200 –> 00:00:08,960
So we’re here for Future Agro Challenge
2
00:00:08,960 –> 00:00:10,480
Part of what Future Agro Challenge is
3
00:00:10,520 –> 00:00:13,760
is that it’s about building a community around Agriculture
4
00:00:13,760 –> 00:00:16,040
and solving some of the food challenges
5
00:00:16,040 –> 00:00:17,800
that are gripping the world
6
00:00:18,040 –> 00:00:21,080
I really have to be bursting with pride
7
00:00:21,120 –> 00:00:23,880
that we’re doing this international competition
8
00:00:23,880 –> 00:00:25,160
for the second year in a row
9
00:00:49,058 –> 00:00:52,138
Up to 20-30% of all fertiliser in the water applied
10
00:00:52,138 –> 00:00:54,885
in all comodity crops globally, is wasted
11
00:00:54,970 –> 00:00:57,890
Flurostat has built the only holistic system
12
00:00:57,890 –> 00:01:00,330
to manage the farm using AI
13
00:01:00,330 –> 00:01:03,322
in all the data that is accessible on the farm
14
00:01:03,621 –> 00:01:05,341
Good afternoon everyone, I am
15
00:01:05,426 –> 00:01:07,786
Gaurav Tyagi and I am the co-founder of Pycno
16
00:01:07,786 –> 00:01:09,941
and we are bringing visuals into the 21st century
17
00:01:09,941 –> 00:01:13,501
because we have figured it out, the traditional practices were good
18
00:01:13,501 –> 00:01:19,178
But there like climate changes, line degredation and scarcity of resources
19
00:01:19,178 –> 00:01:22,213
are not helping the farmers much with their traditional practices
20
00:01:22,213 –> 00:01:28,050
Possibly 30% of all revenues are being consumed by the cost of irrigation
21
00:01:28,050 –> 00:01:29,610
Through power and water consumption
22
00:01:29,653 –> 00:01:32,333
We’re Watersave, we’re addressing this problem right now
23
00:01:32,333 –> 00:01:34,813
My father and I have properties at Koah
24
00:01:34,813 –> 00:01:38,650
which we’re going to provide together to offer sustainable farming
25
00:01:38,650 –> 00:01:40,768
in an ecological setting
26
00:01:40,853 –> 00:01:44,053
it’s a multifaceted business which has four streams
27
00:01:44,053 –> 00:01:47,693
So our solution is to the billion poorest farmers in the world
28
00:01:47,693 –> 00:01:50,533
in Kenya and Papua New Guinea we increased average
29
00:01:50,533 –> 00:01:52,970
farmer income by three times in a single season
30
00:01:53,013 –> 00:01:58,013
So Australian farmers have one of the highest suicide rates
31
00:01:58,053 –> 00:01:59,893
of any people group in Australia
32
00:02:00,106 –> 00:02:02,546
What we’ve done is we’ve created a software
33
00:02:02,613 –> 00:02:04,373
that makes their paperwork easy
34
00:02:04,674 –> 00:02:06,752
We’re here for a purpose
35
00:02:07,176 –> 00:02:08,373
The planet is out of balance
36
00:02:08,389 –> 00:02:11,669
whether in terms of extraction beyond it’s means
37
00:02:11,701 –> 00:02:14,432
or distribution of resources like food
38
00:02:14,432 –> 00:02:18,058
For the future of Australia definitely we have to get behind what’s happening in the Ag sector
39
00:02:18,186 –> 00:02:21,237
The innovations that come out of this place is just wonderful
40
00:02:21,322 –> 00:02:23,642
As Tablelands Regional Council we are certainly
41
00:02:23,728 –> 00:02:26,608
behind any innovation like this
42
00:02:26,778 –> 00:02:29,738
It’s getting distribution, that getting a great team together
43
00:02:29,738 –> 00:02:31,658
It’s finding investment and getting customers
44
00:02:31,813 –> 00:02:34,213
Validating your product, doing all those great things
45
00:02:34,304 –> 00:02:36,880
I suppose both of the start ups today and a few at the end there
46
00:02:36,880 –> 00:02:39,640
Had an enormous amount of implementation in their business
47
00:02:39,640 –> 00:02:41,760
and are addressing some massive, massive problems
48
00:02:41,760 –> 00:02:44,000
that have huge scalable opportunities
49
00:02:48,520 –> 00:02:49,840
AgUnity
50
00:02:53,560 –> 00:02:56,640
Thank you from the people who hopefully we will help
51
00:02:56,640 –> 00:02:58,360
that really need that help
