Summit Confirms The Need to Aggregate and Translate Ecological Data for Supply Chain Solutions

CANBERRA, Australia - AussieJournal -- NatureHelm's co-founders, Dr. Debbie Saunders and Phil Keaton, attended the Asia-Pacific Agri-Food Innovation Summit in Singapore. Their attendance confirmed the urgent market demand for data linking biodiversity and ecosystem health directly to financial resilience and regenerative supply chain security.

The Asia-Pacific Agri-Food Innovation Summit brings together global leaders and investors focused on climate adaptation, sustainable sourcing, and next-generation technologies.

Strategic Engagement and Key Takeaways

Dr. Saunders and Mr. Keaton engaged in high-level discussions that validated NatureHelm's core offering: translating complex ecological data into business-ready insights.

Dr. Debbie Saunders, CEO of NatureHelm, noted a significant shift in investor focus. "The urgency of climate adaptation in food systems is undeniable. We observed strong interest from sustainable finance investors, specifically in nature-based solutions for the agri-food sector," Dr. Saunders said. "Furthermore, meeting with leaders like Regrow Ag and Treefera confirmed the massive opportunity to seamlessly integrate agricultural, environmental, and carbon data to accelerate solutions at the climate-nature interface."

Dr. Saunders highlighted the real-world challenges discussed, stating that conversations with companies like Ferrero provided key context: "It was powerful to hear directly from them about the drought impacts already hitting their supply chain. It reinforces that we must look beyond single-focus solutions. We need data not just for pollinators, but also for soil biodiversity, which is critical for the overall landscape health of crops like hazelnuts and rice."

Phil Keaton, CPO of NatureHelm, emphasised the corporate shift toward acknowledging nature dependencies. "It was hugely encouraging to see large, global corporations openly acknowledge that decisive action is required to address the growing biodiversity risk faced by their operations," said Mr. Keaton. "The discussions reinforced the importance for business to understand and manage their interface with nature to provide resilience across entire value chains."

Laying the Groundwork for clients and partners

NatureHelm used the platform to advance critical partnerships:
  • New Forests: Advancing collaboration with the Asian team after initial work with their global sustainability team, setting the stage for ongoing work on forest projects in the new year.
  • Regrow Ag & Treefera: Identifying opportunities for data integration to connect NatureHelm's biodiversity intelligence with leading agricultural and carbon platforms.
  • Investors & Finance: Securing follow-up discussions with investors focused on sustainable finance and natural capital.
