Tackling nitrogen pollution, one water body at a time... @JackieRWebb has secured @arc_gov_au funding to take on one of the biggest environmental challenges! 👏 Read more: bit.ly/4rJNCFm.

🌍 Today is Global Fertilizer Day. Fertiliser helps Australian farmers feed over 75 million people worldwide - but local manufacturing is under pressure. We need smarter policy to support productivity and sustainability. #GlobalFertilizerDay #AgPolicy #AusAg

Australia’s grain sector is facing rising climate and disease challenges... Our researchers are using AI and data insights to turn this around! 👏 @theGRDC l @fgacenga

We're aiming to accelerate Australia’s transition to net-zero... By turning dairy waste and duckweed into sustainable biofuels! ♻️ @bkvmccabe l @caeusq

CAE's Prof Bernadette McCabe and Dr Peter Harris🐄👨‍🔬

Curious about what's new in research? You're in the right place! 🤩 Let’s dive into our latest updates and developments. @UniSQ_GRS 💛

It’s about taking some of the pressure off early #AgTech adopters by finding the insights for them, says @JustineBaillie1 “One of the problems is not if the tech do the specific task, but whether or not it can do it at the commercial scale growers need.”

Congratulations to our new Doctorates, Dr. Payel Sinha and Dr Yiyi Xiong, who graduated at @unisqaus autumn graduations this week w/ topics: agronomic assessment of biosolids biochar & machine vision of common root rot disease. Priming the #ECR pipeline👏

Exciting news... We're leading an out-of-this-world project to test machine vision technology for plant monitoring in space. Fun fact: It could provide vital clues to address food security challenges on Earth! @caeusq 🌱

Well done, A/Prof Cheryl McCarthy! We are looking forward to seeing the results of this exciting project in collaboration with project partners Medicinal Harvest, Axiom Space, University of Adelaide, and Yuri Gravity 🌿🚀

Introducing: The PlantEye 3D Multispectral Scanner! We recently launched the new cutting-edge technology to help tackle global challenges like food security and climate resilience 💚 @ILSE_UniSQ | @Phenospex

@unisqaus @stockandland @bkvmccabe @EndFoodWasteAus Taking our #biofertiliser granulation research to the next level🌾 Today we hosted Ralf Löbe from Eirich Mixers, Germany, who shared technical expertise in granulation formulation and blending. We look forward to continuing our international collaboration

^ In other words... Our granulator machine could unlock cheaper fertiliser! 🌱 Find out how via @stockandland: bit.ly/3B9NExK.

Talk about being the way of the biofuture... ♻️ Did you know we're offering real solutions to a global problem? @caeusq l @bkvmccabe l @FoodWasteCRC

Leaders in the field... We recently showcased our groundbreaking research and technologies at @evokeAG 2025 🌾 And what a week it was... @sqnnswhub | @AgAdoption | @caeusq | @ILSE_UniSQ

Excited to join... The AgriFutures @EvokeAG Conference as a partner next week!!! A shared passion of working with industry to deliver local research with global impact 🌱 @ILSE_UniSQ @CAEUSQ @UniSQ_SoAES @ResilienceUniSQ @ResearchRural @CCH_USQ @AgAdoption @sqnnswhub

Thrilled to welcome @unisqaus to #evokeAG2025 as an Exhibition Partner! 🎓🌱🔬 We share their passion for working with industry, local community + global partners to deliver research with real impact. 🤝 2025 Program ▶️ bit.ly/3Ed6ngi Tickets ▶️ bit.ly/42xoUhf

Australia’s cotton and dairy industries are set to reap the benefits of new irrigation technology that can enhance climate resilience through improved water use efficiency. @unisqaus @CottonResearch @caeusq pumpindustry.com.au/new-irrigation…

Congratulations to A/Profs Alison McCarthy & Joe Foley on this @CottonResearch led project funded by @DAFFgov Climate Smart Ag program. It represents an opportunity to commercialize Alison’s VARIWise irrigation tool developed during her @unisqaus PhD

Major milestone alert... We've received $1.1 million in funding for our promising irrigation technology! 💧 @caeusq l @CottonResearch l @DAFFgov

Adjunct Research Fellow Dr Dio Antille @DLAntille presenting at the International Fertiliser Society Conference in Cambridge UK. Our @unisqaus research on #biosolids #biochar is supported by @arc_gov_au & industry partners Pyrocal and Logan City Council.
