Farmers
If you are a farmer interested in technology for integration on your farm, but unsure how to get started, our process is simple.
We work with you to uncover problems and frustrations that could be solved with technology solutions. We then connect you with a selection of vetted technology providers and can take the pressure off your budget with subsidised purchase options.
We will ensure you receive any necessary training, and continue to check in and support you after the technology has been implemented.
03
Technology Providers
Do you have a commercially ready solution that supports drought resilience of Australian farmers?
We can assist with increased awareness and uptake, connecting you with customers where your technology could make a real difference.
At TEKFARM, we leverage our networks and deep industry expertise to provide insights, guidance and unique pathways for accelerated adoption of commercially ready agtech companies.
Building Drought Resilience
With support from the Future Drought Fund Farmers2Founders is delivering the TEKFARM platform across Australia with a focus on building drought resilience across multiple sectors in diverse geographies and production systems.
We are currently facilitating the deployment of more than 25 commercial ready agtech solutions that are targeting significant drought resilience challenges in areas including soil health; water; and land management practices.
Involving both individual technologies and more sophisticated ‘tech stacks’ we are implementing the TEKFARM platform on 70+ farms in collaboration with a growing army of agtech advisors and industry partners to rigorously measure the benefits to individual farm businesses.
Our ultimate goal is to accelerate the adoption of technologies and solutions that will prepare Australia’s agriculture and aqua value chains for a climate resilient future.

The Agtech Adoption Challenge
Clear Value Propositions
It can be difficult for farmers to understand how agtech can be practically applied to their specific farming operations, and what the benefits will be.
At TEKFARM, we take the time to understand a producer/grower's, unique farming challenges and goals, before mapping them to the right solutions. We work with technology companies to develop case studies and cost-benefit analyses to demonstrate their value.
Technical Capability
Weighing up different agtech solutions and connectivity options can be complex. We work to demystify these technologies, breaking down concepts into understandable terms, and providing training and guides.
Trusted intermediaries such as agronomists, industry organisations, grower groups and consultants are incorporated within the adoption journey to assist with the practical application of technologies.
Limited Global Transfer
Many farmers may feel disconnected from global advancements in agtech, with limited resources to research what’s out there and working.
The TEKFARM platform is a global initiative that is connected to a global network of solutions. We identify, introduce and establish a number of carefully selected high-quality companies for the Australian market through our Land x Launch programs.
Our Partners
With support from the Future Drought Fund and our collaboration partners we can deliver a step-change in the adoption of drought resilience technologies, by making agtech more approachable, practical and globally connected.
