The wisdom of respectfully knowing how to live well in a world worth living in.
We pay our respect to all First Nations elders both past and present, and in particular acknowledge the Wiradjuri peoples of Australia, who are the traditional custodians of the land where the Digital Agrifood Summit is held.
The Digital Agrifood Summit is part capital city conference, part field day, all held in the vibrant regional location of Wagga Wagga, NSW.
A considered program featuring international and Australian experts is complemented by a hands-on look at the emerging technology set to revolutionise our farming practices in the future.
The Summit is the event to attend if you want to know what's on the horizon and to meet the people that are going to get us there.
Food Agility, Charles Sturt University, and AgriPark organise the Digital Agrifood Summit to showcase the innovation and collaboration occuring in regional NSW.
DAS attracted over 450 delegates to Wagga Wagga in its first two years, 2022 and 2023.
Additionally, over 150 high-school students from over 10 participating schools attend DAS to draw inspiration in what can be acheived through a career in agriculture.
All delegates are able to take a tour of the Global Digital Farm (GDF). An integrated digital learning, innovation and research environment working within a full-scale, commercial, mixed farm operation, the GDF is becoming the benchmark for agtech adoption for both farmers and industry.
There's more than just discussion offered at DAS, and it couldn't be hosted without the generous support of all sponsors and exhibitors. Click the button below to learn how you can support the growth of DAS.

We are a university of the land and people of our regions. True to the character of regional Australia we have gumption, we have soul and we collaborate with others. We develop holistic, far-sighted people who help their communities grow and flourish. The Wiradjuri phrase yindyamarra winhanganha means the wisdom of respectfully knowing how to live well in a world worth living in. This phrase represents who we are at Charles Sturt University – our ethos. It comes from traditional Indigenous Australian knowledge, but it also speaks to the mission of universities – to develop and spread wisdom to make the world a better place. Harnessing technology, we thrive as a distributed yet connected community, welcoming and engaging with people across Australia and the world.
