Piers Hogarth-Scott

Piers is the founder and managing partner of TerraVida, a management consulting firm specialising in food and agriculture, and co-convenor of the Australian AgriFood System Alliance. He works at the intersection of strategy, technology and sustainability, helping industry, government and research organisations move from fragmented effort to system-level change.

Piers co-led the landmark project A Systems Thinking Approach to Australian Agrifood, a national study of how agriculture and food can take a systems thinking approach to work more effectively with other national priority sectors, including energy, mining, defence, health and technology, to address complex, interconnected challenges. Drawing on international research and extensive stakeholder consultations across agrifood and adjacent sectors, the study set out eight recommendations for a connected, mission-led approach that builds on the strengths of Australia’s existing R&D structures and positions the agrifood sector as a driver of economic, environmental and social transformation across the nation.

Piers is also a founder and investor in We3 AI, an agtech company providing computer vision artificial intelligence solutions for the agriculture and food industry, and previously led the AgriFood Transformation and Digital Agriculture practices as a partner at Deloitte and KPMG. He is based in Sydney.
