Meet Cohort One
Elevate Dairy, powered by Gardiner Foundation and delivered by Beanstalk AgTech, has selected seven companies for its inaugural cohort following a rigorous due diligence process with the support of the Industry Advisory Committee.
Chosen for their potential to address key challenges facing Victorian dairy businesses, the innovators offer solutions spanning herd management, farm operations, energy, fertiliser and on-farm safety.
Over the coming months, they will work with the Elevate Dairy team to connect with farmers and processors and explore opportunities for local adoption.
