Spatial technologies have a critical role to play in the future of agriculture in Australia, especially as the population continues to grow, and the climate continues to change.

The Digital Rural Futures conference aims to bring together the agricultural and information technology – including geospatial – industries, to try and create a sustainable, efficient future for Australian agriculture.

The three themes of this year’s conference are:

Regional Futures: Australia’s future depends on maintaining healthy, resilient and vibrant regional communities.

Agricultural Futures: National and global agricultural challenges focus on increasing productivity, sustainable use of resources and embracing digital technologies to optimise Australia’s farming future.

Digital Futures: Australia’s social, cultural, educational and economic future depends on the capacity to design and utilise emerging digital technologies and embrace their opportunities.

The Digital Rural Futures Conference 2014 will be hosted by the University of Southern Queensland’s Toowoomba campus from 25–27 June 2014.
