What if our farmers were paid fairly?
What if the seafood caught and the blueberries grown in the Coffs region could bring in higher prices for our agricultural community?
What if there were a better way to address food wastage along the supply chain?
How are these things done in other countries using the latest innovations in technology?
All these questions and more will be addressed by the upcoming Startup Grind Coffs Harbour guest speaker and global specialist in blockchain solution technology – the powerful record-keeping system that is transforming industry around the world.
