Sharing knowledge for the better

In a world where a competitive edge is often technology driven, data is driving efficiencies and profits in the agribusiness sector. Could knowledge captured and shared through co-operative ventures allow farms to thrive together? How can we get farmers to trust each other and share their data?

Meet the businesses doing just that and hear how, why, and what happened. If you are interested in exploring what is involved when agribusinesses share data, this roundtable is a great place to start.

Join journalist Pete Lewis with special guests: Wally Newman (farmer), Phillip Guthrie (Birchip Cropping Group), Kelly Pearce (Wheatbelt Science) and Melina Morrison
