Research Theme 2.2 - Technology and innovation transforming remote businesses
Remote businesses can be slow to adopt technological innovations from outside. This theme will use two specific projects as case studies to map and address the economic, business and social issues that both hinder and assist technology adoption and innovation in remote regions:
- Precision Pastoral Management Tools - will develop new management tools that integrate precision animal data with precision spatial data to match livestock performance to environmental conditions for more efficient pastoral management.
- Plant breeding - will investigate the propagation of bush tomatoes in a culturally appropriate way as a model for other commercially valuable plant varieties such as Kakadu plums, bush bananas, desert yams and desert truffles.
