Smart agribusiness in the NamoiThe project delivered an industry database that geographically maps grain, beef, lamb and poultry businesses in the region along with the agri-commodities they produce, and a multi-criteria decision support tool to guide selection of locations for animal protein agribusiness development. The resulting database and decision support tool assisted local councils in the Namoi region to make informed, data-driven decisions that promote sustainable agricultural growth. By aligning local decision-making with state-level planning reforms, the project ensured that opportunities for expansion in intensive livestock production are both strategically located and compliant with regulatory frameworks, ultimately strengthening the region’s competitiveness.
