Ep 58: Fiona Aveyard on drought, dust storms, and value-adding

Published: Jan. 22, 2020, 7:50 p.m.

Agtech is about more than the technologies. It's about new business models in agriculture,
and of course the innovators driving changes along the value chain. Today’s guest, Fiona Aveyard, a 5th generation mixed farmer, is definitely an innovator and an entrepreneur.

We talk about how she’s working on a new supply chain and new
value add products that can bring more profits to the farm and create jobs in her
local community. And she’s doing all of this while facing dust storms and the worst drought in
history.

This episode is again part of our series in partnership with Farmers2Founders, an
innovation program designed specially for primary producers. Fiona is one of the
businesses in the program. Applications are open now for the Ideas Program. So, if you’re a producer with an invention to commercialize or an idea for a new product, check it out!
