About SPAA
SPAA is a non-profit and independent membership based group formed in 2002 to promote the development and adoption of precision agriculture (PA) technologies.
The association aims to be the leading advocate for PA in Australia and through this role improve the profitability and sustainability of agricultural production systems via the adoption of PA.
PA management offers many Australian farms the potential for a quantum increase in production efficiency.
Our mission is to facilitate research, extension and the adoption of precision agriculture.
Current SPAA members include those involved in the production of grains, winegrapes and horticultural crops, including growers, consultants, equipment manufacturers, contractors and researchers. SPAA's wide membership base is a reflection of the potential that is offered by PA.
SPAA has an Australia-wide focus and this is achieved by partnering with other organisations and becoming part of national and industry alliances.
