Australia Microgreens Market Trends:

Sustainable Innovation in Livestock Nutrition

The microgreens market in Australia is evolving with a focus on sustainable practices, especially in livestock nutrition. Microgreens, known for their high nutritional density, provide a significant boost in protein levels compared to traditional grains. Their ability to be cultivated in compact spaces with minimal resource use enhances their appeal. This farming method uses fewer resources like water, making it a highly efficient and eco-friendly alternative to conventional crops. As sustainability becomes more important in agriculture, microgreens are gaining traction as a nutritious, resource-conscious option for animal feed. This shift toward innovative farming techniques is shaping the future of livestock nutrition in Australia, offering a greener, more efficient approach to food production. According to an article published in January 2025, the Australian microgreens market is embracing sustainable practices, particularly in animal fodder production. Microgreens, like sprouted barley, offer high nutritional density, significantly boosting protein levels compared to traditional grains. They can be grown in small spaces, requiring only 9-18 square meters of indoor area, and are highly water-efficient, using up to 90% less water than conventional crops. This innovative approach to livestock nutrition is becoming increasingly popular in Australia due to its sustainability and space efficiency.

Revolutionizing Microgreens Cultivation

In Australia, the market is embracing innovative, sustainable solutions with the introduction of a new soilless growth medium. Developed using advanced biotechnologies, this medium enhances the cultivation process by offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional growing methods. Early trial results have shown promising outcomes, leading to a strategic collaboration aimed at improving controlled environment agriculture. This partnership aims to support more efficient, sustainable practices in microgreens farming, reducing reliance on conventional resources while boosting productivity. As the market shifts towards more environmentally conscious agricultural solutions, this new approach is expected to play a pivotal role in transforming the commercial microgreens sector in Australia. For instance, in September 2023, ​Nanollose Limited partnered with Greenspace ESG Pty Ltd to exclusively evaluate and supply MicroGel, a soilless growth medium for Australia's commercial microgreens market. Developed using Nanollose's Biollose technology, MicroGel offers sustainable cultivation solutions. Encouraging trial results have led to this collaboration, aiming to revolutionize controlled environment agriculture in Australia.
