(Photo: Facebook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>February 3, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kingaroy-based data analyst Emma Black has been named as a finalist in the 2023 AgriFutures Rural Women\u2019s Award.<\/p>\n<p>Emma and her family live on a cattle property near Kingaroy, and it is her passion for the beef industry which has led to her nomination for the award.<\/p>\n<p>She is the co-founder and operations manager of Black Box Co, a data collection tool designed to assist beef producers to improve productivity and profitability by making better-informed decisions.<\/p>\n<p>The cloud-based software collects raw data from along the beef supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, Emma won the Rural, Regional &amp; Remote Award at the national WiT (Women In Technology) awards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Agriculture Minister Mark Furner said four women had been named as State finalists in the <a href=\"https:\/\/agrifutures.com.au\/opportunities\/rural-womens-award\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AgriFutures Rural Women\u2019s Award<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He said Emma&#8217;s real-time analysis and insights software was generating certainty across the supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>The other finalists are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Emma-Louise Gibbons, from the Sunshine Coast, who is using Australian-farmed insect protein to sustainably produce a line of dog food and treats.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Kate Lamason, from Cairns, whose vertically integrated production model has brought tuna canning to Australian markets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Louise Noble, from Toowoomba, who is creating industry partnerships that upskill and connect disadvantaged job seekers to agricultural employment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe AgriFutures Rural Women\u2019s Award has a rich heritage of promoting the wonderful contribution Australian women make to rural industries, businesses and communities, and inspiring them to further develop their skills,\u201d Mr Furner said.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis year\u2019s winner will receive a $15,000 Westpac grant and represent Queensland at the national announcement in September where they have the chance to win an additional $20,000 Westpac grant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Queensland finalists will each receive a $2000 grant from the State sponsor, the University of Queensland.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing nominated as a finalist represents due recognition for initiative and dedication, and I congratulate all of this year\u2019s finalists and wish them well for the future,\u201d Mr Furner said.<\/p>\n<h2
