Landing Pads

We design and deliver Landing Pads that help producers of all sizes, in all regions, solve critical challenges and seize emerging opportunities. 

Sometimes an agricultural sector needs solutions faster than local R&D can provide them. In these cases, Beanstalk run Landing Pads supercharge growth by getting good innovation in the hands of producers much faster than developing new technology from scratch. By sourcing global solutions and enabling local market trials, we support producers to adopt innovation with confidence. Our cross-border landing pads bring global best-practice to local challenges, helping global AgTech enter new markets and helping producers identify the right-fit technologies for their operation.

Landing Pad article series

Drawing on our industry experience and work across multiple countries and regions, Beanstalk is developing a five-part series on agricultural Landing Pads. We explore what they are, how they work, and how they can help build strong agricultural sector.

Do it right or not at all: Designing Landing Pads that actually work

Most Landing Pads bring technology to market and call it done. The harder problem, and the one that determines whether a program delivers real impact, is what happens next.

In the second instalment of our five-part series, we draw on global program reviews and eight years of delivery experience to outline seven principles that separate Landing Pads that drive measurable adoption from those that don't.

If you're a government agency, industry body, or regional group weighing whether a Landing Pad is the right tool to maximise your investment and public good, start here.

What is a Landing Pad, and does Australian agriculture need them?

Australia's agricultural sector doesn't have an innovation problem. It has an adoption problem. Between 2015 and 2025, US$227 billion was raised globally by agrifoodtech startups, yet close to 40% of producers remain unable or unconvinced to adopt available tools. In the first instalment of our five-part series, we examine what Landing Pads are, how they differ from other innovation models, and why they represent the most practical infrastructure for closing the gap between global technology solutions and local practice.
