Our first international delegation hit the shores of Australia in February 2024 with a whirlwind four-day Immersion Tour across Tasmania. The tour shone a spotlight on farming seafood and seaweed in Tasmanian waters, in collaboration with Australian innovation, precision farming, sustainability, governance and sustainable supply chain leaders with visits to a selection of on-water and land-based sites as well asa seminar series to learn more about aspects of precision farming in action. Key takeaways for participants centred around transparency, scale and collaboration.

Here's what some of our delegates said:
