Colin Austin has been recognised as one of Australia’s leading innovators for his pioneering work in computer-aided engineering. The company he founded became Australia’s leading exporter of technical software—a global multi-million-dollar business—long before most people had even heard of Microsoft.
But Colin believed the greatest challenge facing humanity was not software—it was how to sustainably grow food that truly keeps people healthy.
He sold his company and used those resources to pursue high-risk, long-term research that few traditional funding bodies would support.
After more than 30 years of experimentation, setbacks, and major breakthroughs, the result was the Gbiota Growing System—a fundamentally different way of thinking about how we grow food, restore soil biology, and support human health.
Like all major innovations, this was not only a technical breakthrough, but also a social one—requiring a shift in how we understand food, health, and our connection to the natural world.
