Australian Financial Review
For a long time the tech sector has been dominated by white men. Manels (male only panels) were commonplace at conferences, more male-led start-ups received venture capital funding and there were a lot more visible male success stories. But when it comes to blockchain, an emerging group of female entrepreneurs are leading the way, not just in Australia, but globally. While cryptocurrency may still have a skew towards males, if you think about a successful Australian blockchain start-up, the chances are it has a female co-founder.

Blockchain has become something of a buzzword, but what exactly does it mean for Australian farmers?

GT Review
Two successful blockchain pilots have been completed in Australia’s grain industry, which show that the technology can eliminate counterparty risk and track the provenance of agri produce. The work was completed by CBH Group, Australia’s largest co-operative and a grain exporter, and AgriDigital, an Australian company which develops blockchain-based solutions for the grain industry and which has developed a cloud-based commodity management system.

Blockchains and cryptocurrencies are no longer the exclusive domain of tech enthusiasts. Agricultural commodity traders, and even cattle and grain producers themselves, are getting on board to be closer to the consumer and reduce food fraud. A blockchain is a database containing transaction details, information and records called blocks.
The country is awash with blockchain conferences but the technology itself is still stuck in the "proof of concept" starting blocks. However, there is cause for hope as Australia has a leading position globally with various projects, including the ASX's CHESS replacement, AgriDigital's supply chain provenance solution and Webjet's travel industry blockchain.

The pilot will assess the benefits of blockchain technology in grains handling, just one area of agriculture in which AgriDigital Chief Executive Officer Emma Weston believes the technology holds exciting opportunities.
