Conference Program 2025

This panel discussion will begin with an inspiring story from Stephen Todd, founder of Volt Farmer. The Australia-Zambia Collaborative Clime Smart Farm Project is one of enterprise and ingenuity as two groups come together to pioneer a new generation of Agri-solar and regenerative farming projects some might consider a living blueprint for the future of sustainable agriculture.

By integrating advanced solar energy systems, regenerative land management, and cutting-edge farm enterprise technology, these projects are transforming rural communities. The initiative empowers local entrepreneurs, improves food security, and restores ecosystems—all while fostering economic opportunity and climate resilience.

This story is indicative of a wider opportunity warrant great discussion.
The spirit of openness and meaningful collaboration goes beyond the feel-good factor. The latest scientific research results and digital tools can be harnessed to optimise productivity, monitor ecosystem health, and support data-driven decision-making. 

Join this panel for lively conversation on:

• Real-world examples of cross border partnerships driving enterprise, education, and environmental stewardship.
• Collaborating to achieve reliable clean energy, climate-smart irrigation, and regenerative land use.
• The role science and digital developments can play in maximising yields, protecting natural resources, and supporting community-led innovation.
