Perth is the host city for evokeAG. for the first time, with the event set to attract national and international innovators, thought leaders and food producers to share insights and explore the latest in agrifood tech innovation.
The leading two-day agrifood tech event will take place at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre on 20-21 February 2024.
DPIRD Director General Heather Brayford encouraged delegates to visit the WA display to find out more about the State’s agrifood sector and unique innovations.
“Innovation has consistently been at the forefront of the WA’s agricultural industry to enable more efficient and sustainable food production,” Ms Brayford said.
The display will include stories of WA’s dynamic primary industries - from sought-after WA rock lobster to apple breeding and oat development programs.
“WA has a strong pedigree in producing and promoting lupins, which are now gaining increased interest from consumers as a healthy food source,” Ms Brayford said.
“Visitors can also learn more about honey made from unique plant species only found in WA, along with local bushfoods.”
Visitors can also glean more insight into a new agricultural data sharing platform developed by DPIRD to enable producers to exchange sensitive agricultural and research data and insights.
WA will host a packed schedule of 35 specialty side events throughout the evokeAG. week, including a regional showcase BBQ at the WA Museum Boola Bardip and South West regional tour.
