A collaboration with Rotorua’s Mamaku Blue winery sees the development of moulded fibre trays – a sustainable alternative to plastic packaging – and we showcase how robotics technology is supporting our tree propagation research thanks to two Finnish research institutes.

One News visited us during our research burns in Canterbury in March and Farmers Weekly talked to Cetogenix and our team about our joint work to reduce the risks involved in deploying containerised technology.Listen up
