MsTrisna Mulyati

Trisna started her full time PhD in 2024 after 7 years working in a research institute, agritech startup, international development and university based in Indonesia. She is passionate about the transdisciplinarity of entrepreneurship and technology impacting complex systems such as agrifood value chain. Supervised by A/Prof Martin Bliemel and Dr Jarrod Ormiston, her research investigates the agricultural innovation systems in transforming rural development, especially amidst the growing startups bringing new technologies and new business models in rural areas. The research will focus on identifying and understanding successful enablers of adoption for scaling up more useful technology-based solutions among smallholders who are often resource constrained and difficult to reach.

The research is also partly funded by DFAT Australia-Indonesia Institute working with multistakeholder partners and participants from startups, farmers, retailers, agri-company, NGO, university, and government.
