The Future of AgriBanking: Monitoring Australia's Farms from Space
Agriculture is a sector that is constantly exposed to various risks such as climate change, natural disasters, and other unforeseeable events. To mitigate these risks and create emerging opportunities, new technology is now available to monitor pasture and crop growth rates, benchmark farm performance, and analyse the frequency and types of risks that affect key financials at a national scale or zoom down to a farm level.
By adopting an automated, data-driven approach, this technology can identify opportunities and help make strategic moves in the industry. Enabling bankers to focus more on relationships rather than regulation, speed up core areas such as annual review process and originations by already having decades of knowledge on a new customer.
This approach future proofs compliance requirements and can revolutionise the entire approach of Agriculture banking.
Join this session to hear how Lachlan Vogt created this new technology and how it could change the future of Agribanking.
