NATIONAL CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES / Podcast

Curious to know what happens to our food as it makes it way around our supply-chain?
What if we were able to track the avocado or the lamb cutlet we buy in the supermarket by following its location, and temperature; tracking its journey using smart technologies so it can be seen and heard in real time?
In this week’s podcast, we hear from Luke Wood CEO and co-founder of Escavox, an Australian agtech startup that is doing exactly that.
In an Australian-first, Escavox has developed an innovative monitoring technology called a “Blue Box tracker’ which travels through the supply-chain capturing data on dwell time, temperature and location. It has even been described as CCTV for food.
More information can be found here on how the technology works and Escavox’s involvement with Meat Livestock Organisation (MLA).
The technology will amaze you.
