Digiscape

Harnessing the digital revolution for Australian farmers and land managers

Digiscape will solve multiple real-life knowledge shortfalls in the land sector simultaneously. We are building a common big data infrastructure that will support next generation decision making and transform agricultural industries and environmental action.

Sounds like a complex challenge? You bet it is! Digiscape is frontier research, backed by CSIRO’s expertise in innovative thinking and our drive to meet the needs of industry, community and the environment.

  • Through harnessing the benefits of the digital revolution, Digiscape will make agriculture more profitable, lower impact and lower risk
  • We are working on multiple dimensions of the solution at once to help Australian farmers and land managers innovate faster
  • Our software platform, Senaps-LAND, will enable us to unlock existing and future data for end users and become the infrastructure needed to drive collaboration.
