Agriculture evolved

Understand the changes happening across the agriculture industry and how they are impacting investment decisions.

Senior Relationship Manager Aidan Whyte talks with Andrew Tout, Head of Agriculture, as they discuss why Australian agriculture is changing faster than most people realise.

In this episode Andrew breaks down the forces reshaping the industry, from climate pressures to the technology now delivering yields that weren’t possible a decade ago.

Key themes covered:

• Protected cropping vs. open paddock. Controlled environments produce up to 800 tonnes per hectare compared to 50 tonnes in the paddock, using the same amount of water.
• Sustainability and ethical production. How Australian farmers are reducing inputs while meeting growing global demand for clean, traceable food.
• Technology at work. Diffused glass improves yields by 15%. Leaf-temperature monitoring tells growers exactly when a crop stops producing.
• The global opportunity. Australia’s regulatory systems, farming expertise and reputation for clean food make it the market of choice for an emerging global middle class.

Investors take note

Global food production needs to increase by 40% by 2030 and double by 2050. This conversation explores what that means for the Australian agriculture sector and why Australian agricultural assets are attracting serious investor attention.
