The Farms of the Future program aims to facilitate tech-enabled production and monitoring through improved connectivity and installation of sensor equipment which support increased productivity, competitiveness, job creation and sustainable use of resources in the selected agricultural sectors: Cotton, Livestock, Grains and Horticulture – tree crops and vines.
The Farms of the Future program has two core streams of investment: Extension and Capacity Building: the development and roll-out of a multifaceted education and capacity building campaign aimed at building farmer and supplier knowledge of the benefits and use of technology in agriculture.
Grants: the provision of grants for farmers in target LGAs to establish connectivity and incentivise Agtech device uptake and de-risk investment. Commencing 2023.
In response to the challenges identified in industry research and the NSW Government’s Farms of the Future pilot program in 2020, five key objectives have been developed to guide the expansion of the program from 2022 to 2025.
Facilitate improved access to on-farm connectivity options in targeted LGAs in Regional NSW.
Develop evidence of tangible productivity and efficiency gains as a result of the improved on-farm connectivity.
Accelerate the uptake of Internet of Things (IoT) Agtech to support increased productivity, profitability, competitiveness and the sustainable use of resources in the agriculture sector.
Improve the digital capability and skills of farming businesses and their workforce to enable greater awareness and adoption of digital technologies. Support collaboration across local, State and Commonwealth Government programs, as well as across industry and the community.
