It's almost time for AgriFutures evokeAG in Brisbane, with the startup program recently released featuring 40 AgriFood tech companies from Australia and nine other countries. This group of companies was selected from 124 applicants across 22 countries, highlighting how EvokeAg has become a landing pad for international AgriFood innovation to engage with the Australian eco-system and identify opportunities for market development. I think the companies selected represent a good cross section of technologies and growth stages, providing early stage companies with a critical market engagement opportunity, whilst also highlighting Australian AgriTech scaleups to the international delegations and investors. If you’re heading to evokeAg I encourage you to check out the companies on the list today and reach out to learn more leading up to the event. This way we can leverage evokeAg as the place to meet and discuss commercial opportunities for the year ahead. See you in Brisbane!

🌾🐂 Last week, our COO, Will Onus, had the privilege of speaking on the Carbon Tech Fusion panel at Central Highlands Development Corporation’s AgTech24 in Emerald. With carbon reporting pressures mounting for producers after the new emissions reporting laws came into play, the panel dived into the challenges farmers are facing and, most importantly, how the right tools can turn compliance into opportunity. The discussion explored the evolving carbon space and highlighted how producers can gain real value by taking control of their emissions data. It was a privilege to share the stage with industry leaders like Australian Agricultural Company (AACo)’s Claire Mahony, Carbonaught Pty Ltd’s Rhys Heffernan, Zero Net Emissions Agriculture CRC’s Ben Hayes and Josh Peart from the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries. A huge thanks to CHDC for hosting such a vibrant and thought-provoking event—Emerald, we’ll be back! #AgTech24 #EmissionsTracking #farmemissions #agtech

Carbonaught Pty Ltd will be presenting at the Puro.earth APAC CDR Summit today as part of the Supplier Showcase. The team is excited to be there alongside the active supporters of carbon removal in our region.

👋The Enhanced Weathering Alliance (#EWA) has officially launched! Enhanced Weathering (#EW) presents one of the most promising, scaleable carbon dioxide removal (#CDR) technologies. In an important milestone for climate innovation, 10 of the world’s leading CDR companies are getting together in the pursuit of scaling this crucial industry globally. The Enhanced Weathering Alliance (EWA) advocates for policy that helps intensify and accelerate carbon removal deployment, to speed up and step up EW's contribution to global climate targets. EWA member companies include: Carbonaught Pty Ltd, Carbonfuture, Carbony, Eion, @Flux, InPlanet, Lithos Carbon, Rock Flour Company, and Silica. EWA is launched with support from Carbon Drawdown Collective Initiative and Cascade Climate. The Carbon Business Council is serving as the Secretariat. Enhanced weathering is a promising carbon removal approach that can leverage existing infrastructure and agronomic practices to rapidly scale.  EW involves spreading rock powders on agricultural land to accelerate the natural carbonate-silicate cycle and permanently remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Today’s launch is accompanied by the release of an Enhanced Weathering Policy Primer published by the Carbon Business Council with input from EWA members, which highlights the state of the market and the significant deployment opportunities for enhanced weathering: https://bit.ly/EWPrimer Learn more about EWA’s launch in the official press release: https://bit.ly/EWALaunch Get in touch if you would also like to join EWA and help scale enhanced weathering to climate relevance. #climateaction #carbonremoval #climatepolicy

Some fantastic news this week for our young company... The USDA has awarded Carbonaught Pty Ltd, the University of California, Davis and the California Association of Resource Conservation Districts a collaborative grant to kick off our project as part of the Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education (SARE) program, working with farms in California. Submission feedback was great too. "This important proposal provides new options for producers to pollute less, build healthy soils, and reduce agricultural burning, while protecting vulnerable communities that are near production areas." It was the "significant industry support" that clearly helped too, so thank you to our industry supporters and farmers. Sunkist Growers The Wonderful Company California Walnut Board & Commission Almond Board of California California Prune Board Looking forward to getting started. Thank you Elias Marvinney & Emily Smet for all the hard work to get a big grant awarded in a very competitive round! #climatesmartagriculture #enhancedrockweathering #carbonaught #california
