Down to Earth: Conversation, Collaboration & Technology

Down to Earth is a 2-day immersive experience for anyone connected to the agrifood supply chain, from producers, founders, supply chain leads and sustainability managers to government reps, researchers, and investors. If carbon is on your radar (or in your ESG report), this is your cue to head to Armidale.

Why Armidale?

Because it’s where climate innovation meets the paddock. With UNE’s SMART Farm, a powerhouse group of agtech founders, and a community of landowners ready to lead change, the New England region isn’t just talking about the future of agriculture. It’s already building it.

What Down to Earth is really about:

Getting honest about climate action.
No greenwashing. No vague targets. Just real talk about what’s working (and what’s not) when it comes to trees, soil, tech and lowering emissions across the ag supply chain.

Talking outside.
We’re not handing you a lanyard and sitting you in rows. We’ll be walking the land, planting trees, getting our hands dirty and eating damper under the stars. The kind of setting that sparks better conversations. 

Scrapping the pecking order.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a farmer, tech founder, policy maker, researcher or uni student, we’re creating a space where everyone gets heard. The only thing off the table? Ego.

Removing one million tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere (aka the Megatonne Mission)
This is your chance to be part of something bigger than just another industry event

Join us at Down to Earth, you'll walk away with:

• A new network of smart, curious people who care about impact over optics

• Clearer insights into the tech, science and strategies that are shaping the future

• Real conversations (not polished panels) with people who are actually doing the work

• Practical, tangible ideas you can bring back to your own business or community

• A renewed sense of connection to the land, the mission, and what’s possible when we collaborate
