About Innovative Farming

Innovative Farming is currently focusing on our product development plans for our ComBox remote control and security device for farms. Once this exciting product becomes ready for commercial trials the Innovative Farming program of activities will be resumed.

What do we do?

Hold farm management seminars for city resident farmers in the Sydney CBD after hours on weeknights every two months. Speakers are farmers or professionals who work closely with farmers. They all think 'outside the square' and are credible and entertaining speakers. More about our speakers.

Publish 'Innovative Farmer', a newsletter with seminar previews/reviews and columns containing useful information written by people with practical experience. No advertorial. More about our writers.

Other services are planned including remote monitoring and control of properties using equipment under development. We have some information available on our prototype remote property management technology, the ComBox.

Who are city resident farmers?

Pitt Street Farmers? Hobby farmers? No?

City resident farmers are people whose main residence is in the city but who own and actively manage farms (often with the help of a manager).

Like country-based farmers, they are passionate about the land and seek to run their farms on a pragmatic business basis, regardless of the size of their property or size of enterprise.

Who runs the community?

The community was established in October 2000 by software engineering company Object Consulting (Object) as part of its marketing activities in rural Australia.

Object has had an interest in the bush for many years, consulting on rural telecommunications issues. It is also developing a ComBox remote monitoring and control device that will help address farm security problems.

Object is interested in city resident farmers because they are early adopters of innovations - including technology.
