Analytics for the Australian Grains Industry (AAGI) is a five-year strategic partnership aimed at harnessing analytics to drive the sector’s profitability and global competitiveness.

AAGI gives Australian growers an opportunity to be world leaders in analytics-driven decision making to drive efficiency and precision and support farm enterprise risk management.

The initiative will deliver grower-facing analytics technologies and work with GRDC RD&E partners and other stakeholders to improve Australian grains research, development and extension (RD&E) outcomes.

AAGI’s mission is to use analytics on grains data to help Australian grain growers to be more profitable and globally competitive through:

• Supporting GRDC’s RD&E portfolio with good, efficient, analytics;
• Doing more upskilling of the grains RD&E workforce;
• Giving grains RD&E more analytics options;
• Investing more in high-priority analytics research;
• Attracting more co-investment and/or revenue to support grains RD&E analytics.

The initiative will deliver grower-facing analytics technologies and improve RD&E outcomes through five work programs:

1. Support
2. Services
3. Consultancy
4. Research & Development
5. Upskilling & Awareness.

AAGI aims to improve the speed, accuracy and efficiency of RD&E, and measure the impact of investment, resulting in further gains for growers.
