Driving Digital Adoption in Agriculture

The Lightwood Consultancy was founded in 2005 to provide business and technology management services to Australian agriculture and is committed to driving on-farm digital adoption, in order to enable the transition at scale to sustainable practice change.

The future of farming is based on data-driven decisions yet the uptake of digital adoption is sub-optimal as we don’t just seem to be addressing the core issues.  Most often the current situation is that farmers are ‘drowning in information yet starving for knowledge’.

At best estimate, the conversion of pre-season planning information to ‘as-applied’ records across the year is less than 30%; we have to do better.
