Enhancing not Eradicating the Current Agricultural Landscape

Too often, AgTech companies set out overly ambitious projects that aim to wipe out the methods and practices that have been the mainstay of Australian infrastructure for decades. We’re determined to do something sustainable for the short-term and the future. We’d love to give you a greater understanding of what Goterra set out to do in the first place and how we know our waste infrastructure is the more likely route for current farming processes. 

Working to enhance and integrate, not eradicate current systems

Australian infrastructure is like any industry in many ways. There’s the good components that are the most effective and efficient way to do things; the methods that work but could do with minor tweaks for the best possible outcome; and the practices that are unsustainable and need to change immediately to bring about a clean energy future for all Australians.

Our aim is and always will be to integrate with current agricultural practices to bring about positive change as this is the most realistic way to go about making the world a better place. Our modular, robot-meets-insect infrastructure can be brought into any farm to start turning food waste into highly-nourishing insect meal and frass.

What, then, needs to change immediately for Australian infrastructure to prosper in the future?

Annually, food waste costs farmers $2.84 billion! Additionally, 7.3 million tonnes of food waste is sent to landfill yearly. You can imagine how costly these figures are for the environment and the economy respectively. This is where we come in.

Goterra was conceived to tackle the huge issue of food waste in Australia (and someday soon, we’ll make it onto the international arena too!) as this is the most imminent issue and will lead to many negative implications on Mother Nature. Our infrastructure sets out to significantly reduce food waste. We want a future our children can look forward to, not dread.

We are dedicated to shifting current farming practices that lead to so much food waste annually. This is what we’re most passionate about.

Sustainability is key to success

We can’t remove food waste entirely, that was never the goal. What we can do is move the world to more sustainable infrastructure methods so that we can continue to invest in our blue and green planet’s health and longevity. Sustainability is key.
