What is a Smart Farm?

A Smart Farm is owned or affiliated with an accredited education, extension, or outreach provider such as a technical college or university, registered producer group, or industry research group.

Each Smart Farm is engaged in the commercial scale production of a recognised agrifood product and is available as a landscape laboratory for the ideation, calibration or validation of new knowledge and emerging technologies.

It is committed to providing high-quality, verifiable data supporting the eventual adoption of the technologies evaluated on-farm.

A Smart Farm also facilitates teaching, learning and research opportunities that contribute to the development of a skilled workforce.
