Wine Australia recently held two Agtech demonstration days, showcasing the latest innovations in viticulture technology. These events, held in Tasmania and South Australia, aimed to highlight the practical benefits of adopting advanced technologies in vineyard management. The focus was on drought-resilience technologies and autonomous solutions that can significantly improve efficiency and reduce operational costs.
Attendees had the opportunity to see live demonstrations of cutting-edge equipment and systems designed to enhance vineyard productivity. Key presentations covered a range of topics, including water management, pest control, and automated harvesting. These technologies are particularly relevant in the context of climate change, where efficient resource use and sustainability are paramount.
The Agtech demonstration days also provided a platform for networking and knowledge exchange among growers, researchers, and technology providers. Participants could discuss their experiences, share insights, and explore potential collaborations. The events underscored the importance of innovation in maintaining the competitiveness and sustainability of the wine industry.
