Good to be working with Greg Edwards, Senior Agronomist, Elders and Peta and Ian from Crystal Waters Nursery, Gold Coast - a nursery that suffered massive impact from Cyclone Debbie, now strengthened for a productive future.

We're in Mackay with nursery industry consultant, Lloyd Russell and Starlight Palm Plantation owner, Kurt Zimmerman building business resilience for the next cyclone season.

Very exciting! Day 1 of our spatial data mapping pilot program - NGIQ working with Todd Morschel of Land Solution Australia, Peter James, COHGA and Cath Williams, Mt Nathan Nursery. Mapping data points and flood levels for nurseries impacted by Cyclone Debbie.

Nurseries are taking up to 2.5 years to complete repairs and reporting an income loss of over $350,000 following a natural disaster. NGIQ is working with nurseries to reduce this recovery time and improve their resilience. Find out more here: ow.ly/su3j30l1azL #agchatoz

Drone technology now in use at Gold Coast nurseries for risk mitigation and flood level data. Thanks to Mt Nathan Nursery and Bamboo Down Under working with NGIQ, Land Solution Australia and COHGA to make it happen.
