A STATEMENT FROM THE FOUNDER

I grow
plants.

Maxwell Moore · Yandi AG

I come from a long line of hardworking dairy farmers. I learned what soil, water and good cow manure can do long before anyone called it an agricultural system.

I left the dairy industry in 2002, as dairy deregulation and changes to irrigation water hit farming life in Gannawarra. I have spent much of my life growing cannabis. I am still facing legal consequences from that history, and I choose to speak about it openly.

When I left dairy, developments around medicinal cannabis in California made me think a more sensible debate would arrive sooner. A generation has passed. I believe this is the time to make a stand for a lawful, accountable pathway that hears farmers as well as regulators, researchers and communities.

I am asking for rigorous controls, honest evidence and a fair chance to test what regional agriculture can contribute. My personal history is part of why I am doing this work. It is not a claim that Yandi AG has a cultivation licence or permission to grow.

01 / THE YANDI CODEX

FOUNDING FRAMEWORK

Scale must
be earned.

The Yandi Codex is the constitutional, strategic and evidentiary framework for the Regional Medicinal Cultivation Precinct, Growing Partners and the regulated agricultural-pharmaceutical platform.

It records why Yandi exists, how evidence gates control expansion, how regional value should be shared and how the organisation intends to distinguish fact, interpretation, forecast and aspiration.

“Yandi AG will not scale an assumption. We will measure it, test it, price it, regulate it, sell it — and only then scale it.”

02 / THE YANDI PAPERS

RESEARCH & ECONOMIC THESIS

The missing
agricultural layer.

The Yandi Papers examine the strategic gap between Australia’s advanced agricultural capability and its pharmaceutical supply chains.

The first public paper tests a shift from the facility model to the precinct model: distributed lawful production coordinated through shared quality, traceability, processing and market infrastructure.

FACILITY MODELControl through ownership

Capital and capability concentrated inside a vertically integrated operator.

PRECINCT MODELControl through coordination

Approved sites connected through common evidence, infrastructure and market systems.

The 50 → 500 → 5,000-acre figures and associated economics are scenarios and evidence gates—not forecasts, approvals or automatic expansion targets.

03 / ODC SUBMISSION

REGULATORY POLICY

Strong controls.
A clearer lawful path.

Yandi AG supports rigorous national controls for medicinal cannabis and proposes a proportionate, evidence-led pathway for staged outdoor cultivation.

The consolidated submission concerns the remaking of the Narcotic Drugs Regulation 2016 and the Narcotic Drugs (Licence Charges) Regulation 2016. It is published as a policy record and must not be described as lodged or accepted without separate evidence.

1
Preserve strong licensing, permit, inspection and enforcement controls.
2
Clarify evidence requirements for staged licence and permit variations.
3
Align cost recovery transparently with regulatory effort, complexity and risk.
4
Address outdoor and broadacre cultivation through outcome-based guidance.
5
Enable bounded, independently evaluated regional demonstrations.
6
Recognise regional infrastructure and coordinated partners where legally relevant.
7
Build a privacy-protective evidence loop for compliance, agronomy and regional outcomes.

04 / YANDIOS™ ECOSYSTEM

INSTITUTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

From field event
to trusted evidence.

YandiOS™ is the proposed evidence spine connecting land, crop identity, security, custody, quality, compliance and market acceptance across a distributed high-value agricultural network.

01The spatial registry

GeoSpatialEngine™

Maps sites, fields, cells, permitted zones, assets and events so every material record has a place.

02The identity layer

CropFingerprint™

Connects genetics, provenance, inputs, environment, observations, harvest and batch genealogy into an attributable crop record.

03The crop-assurance layer

CropSecure™

Relates crop identity to authorised activity, anomaly detection, incident handling, reconciliation and anti-diversion evidence.

04The network-assurance layer

GridSecure™

Coordinates approved sites, zones, sensors and operational responses while preserving local resilience during connectivity loss.

05The evidence workflow

CultivationCompliance™

Turns approved procedures, records, exceptions, corrective action and human decisions into regulator- and buyer-ready evidence.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

One evidence spine.
Multiple operating layers.

05Markets & institutional users

Buyers, manufacturers, research partners, quality authorities and regulators receive authorised evidence—not an ungoverned data dump.

04Governance & human authority

Named people approve quality states, exceptions, corrective action, access and public claims. Automation supports; it does not replace accountability.

03YandiOS application modules

Geospatial registry, crop identity, security workflow, custody, compliance evidence, alerts and controlled exports.

02Evidence and integration services

Stable identifiers, append-only events, role-based access, standard geospatial formats, APIs, offline synchronisation and audit history.

01Field & edge systems

Approved users, sensors, machinery, field observations and local gateways operating under rural connectivity constraints.
