Site Visit 1: Monash Food Innovation

Monash Food Innovation is committed to advancing the Food and Agriculture Industry, focusing on engaging and building capability for innovation and growth for over 7,000 Food and Agribusinesses from Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and China, and supporting commercialization through the formation of a strong network of end to end partners providing pathways into the Australian and Chinese markets.

Site Visit 2: Cora Lynn Farm

A comprehensive experimental site has been established at Cora Lynn, Melbourne, Australia for the specific purpose of developing soil moisture monitoring technologies for agriculture.  One of the highlights of the site is an Australian Research Council funded project undertaking a complete end-to-end evaluation of P-band radiometer soil moisture remote sensing readiness as the next-generation of soil moisture satellite missions, which is expected to give more accurate soil moisture information including over a deeper soil layer thickness than the existing L-band technology.
