From Research to Practice: What Does the Australian PA Society Do?
I am pleased to have been appointed as one of Australia’s Country Representatives to the International Society of Precision Agriculture (ISPA), alongside Professor David Lamb, Chief Scientist of the Food Agility CRC, who has served on ISPA for several years. I am Senior Lecturer in Precision Crop Management at the University of Sydney, where I lead PA research projects and also teach undergraduate and postgraduate agronomy and PA courses.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to provide a bit of context on the PA landscape in Australia, and highlight some of the differences and opportunities for collaboration with ISPA and other national societies. Australia’s national PA society is the Society of Precision Agriculture Australia (SPAA). It is an organisation I am proud to be involved with through a range of advisory and extension activities.

Precision Agriculture in Sugarcane: Why is Variable-Rate Technology still not being Adopted at Scale?
For more than two decades, the sugarcane sector of Valle del Cauca, Colombia, has served as a living laboratory for precision agriculture. This is not a story about theoretical pilots or futuristic promises. It is a story about maps, models, machines, data and measurable results. Yet, as of 2024, less than 10% of the sugarcane area applies variable-rate fertilization, despite consistent evidence of yield gains, input optimization, and reduced environmental footprint.
