Built by farmers, for farmers- and everyone else in the supply chain.

The Ruminati team at Beef 2024

Ruminati was founded by Bobby Miller and Will Onus, multi-generational farmers from New South Wales, who built the platform they wished existed when supply chains started asking them for emissions data. Alongside co-founder and technical architect Peter Leihn, they set out to create an agricultural emissions tracking tool that worked from the producer's perspective: practical, straightforward, and grounded in how farming actually operates.

Today Ruminati is Australia's leading on-farm emissions reporting platform, used by producers across beef, sheep, wool, dairy and cropping, as well as feedlotters, processors, banks, and retailers. The platform is guided by advisors including Professor Richard Eckard from the University of Melbourne and livestock industry leader Richard Rains, and is certified under the NFF Farm Data Code.

The focus hasn't changed since day one: give producers the tools to understand their own emissions data, on their own terms, and make sure that data can flow through the supply chain in a way that's useful for everyone- with producers always in control of who sees their data and when.
