Agventure Downunder is a new addition to the #evokeAG2025 Startup Program, which will see 10 international startups introduce their global agritech solutions to the Australian market. The program has been designed to provide startups with an immersive experience that will connect them with key stakeholders and offer tailored market access support. Among the featured agrifood tech startups is LyteGro, which uses banana waste to produce an organic extract that improves growth and metabolism of bacteria and yeast species used in industrial processes. 4AG Robotics, another featured company, is revolutionising mushroom harvesting by building computer guided and AI-enhanced robots capable of picking, trimming and packing agaricus mushrooms. VIA BioFuels has modified an industrial ethanol yeast strain to make 3-methylanisole (3MA), which can be used as a fuel, or as a plastics precursor. The process is less expensive than ethanol fermentation and yields a higher value product.

When Managing Director of Impact Ag Partners and #evokeAG2025 speaker, Hugh Killen talks about the ‘farm of the future’ it’s not whizz-bang technology or robots – rather he sees harnessing nature as the key. “By investing in natural capital over the long-term we can benefit productivity, reduce input costs and create a more resilient farm for the long term,” he said. “When we introduce what I'd describe as complementary on-farm value streams from natural capital, that's the farm of the future for me.” Global investors agree - with Impact Ag Australia and its US counterpart managing $1bn in assets focused on nature positive farming.
