Welcome to Cultivating the Future, a podcast where participants in the WA Agricultural Research Collaboration’s Postgraduate Research Program take turns behind the mic, sharing their journeys, insights and the impact their work will have on farmers across the State.
On this episode, Roberto Lujan Rocha chats to Montana Baddeley about his journey from playing professional soccer 3600 metres above sea level in Bolivia, to studying agricultural science at The University of Western Australia.
Roberto's PhD is exploring how satellite imagery and farm data (like crop yield maps and soil layers) can be used to proactively predict weed patches and inform sustainable, integrated weed management strategies for Australian grain farms.
He is supported by WAARC, CSIRO, the Australian Herbicide Resistance Initiative, and the Centre for Water and Spatial Science.
