Applying new technologies to enhance biosecurity and cattle quality. (Old ID 23456)
CRC for Developing Northern Australia Scheme
Role
Chief Investigator
Description
The vast natural environment of Northern Australia feeds the cattle industry; however, biosecurity threats have negatively impacted this. Conventional management of such threats such as weeds are not suited to such broad, harsh landscapes. The project will use an Internet of Things network with low-cost environmental sensors, drone mapping and big data analytics to develop and test data-driven, strategic pest management programs - ultimately improving both cattle industry and natural assets.
