Theme 1
Agri-Tech
AgriTech theme challenges innovators to develop solutions that enhance productivity, sustainability, and efficiency across the food and agriculture sector. This theme welcomes ideas that leverage emerging technologies like AI, robotics, IoT, and analytics to tackle real-world problems faced by farmers, ranchers, and across agricultural supply chains.

Sustainable Farming
The Sustainable Farming subtheme challenges innovators to optimise yields and farming practices while ensuring sustainability. Participants could build AI systems to analyse soils and recommend crops, deploy IoT sensors to monitor crop health and irrigation or connect farmers to sustainable techniques. The goal is to increase farmer incomes while reducing agriculture's environmental impact.
Precision Agriculture
The Precision Agriculture subtheme challenges innovators to leverage AI and IoT to optimise irrigation, fertilisation, and pest control. Participants could build targeted automated irrigation, nutrient prescription tools, or computer vision-powered smart pest management. Such precision innovations can increase farming productivity and efficiency.
Supply Chain Logistics
The Supply Chain Logistics subtheme aims to optimise agricultural supply chains through improved traceability, reduced waste, and enhanced efficiency. Innovations could implement blockchain tracking, IoT monitoring, AI forecasting, and computer vision food grading to benefit producers, consumers, and sustainability.
Crop Analytics
The Crop Analytics subtheme calls for solutions that collect and analyse crop data to provide actionable insights to farmers. Participants could build sensor networks and apply AI techniques like predictive modelling and anomaly detection to this data to uncover patterns and trends. The goal is to provide farmers with timely, tailored intelligence to inform data-driven management decisions and optimise crop outcomes.
Agricultural Robotics
The Agricultural Robotics subtheme challenges the creation of robotic systems to automate critical farming tasks like harvesting crops, weeding fields, monitoring plant health, and handling materials. Participants could design picking robots, weeding arms, crop-scouting drones, and autonomous farm vehicles. The goal of applying AI and robotics is to relieve labour, improve efficiency, and enable data-driven automation of agricultural processes.
Alternative Proteins
The Alternative Proteins track invites disruptive solutions leveraging approaches like plant-based formulations, fermentation and cellular agriculture to deliver viable eco-friendly meat analogues matching traditional taste, price and nutrition
