You can search past issues of 'Solve'. 

e.g. for Ag and Hort: A cow wearing a GPS unit and antenna is simply not
what one expects when visiting a farm, but such high-tech cows are
happily participating in a CSIRO study into animal behaviour with
potential for improving livestock management tools 

and

Improvements in agricultural productivity used to depend on the expert
eyes of plant and animal breeders to identify elite individuals

(November 2005) http://www.solve.csiro.au/1105/index.htm

 

e.g. for textiles: The production of microscopic fibres known as carbon
nanotubes is opening up a whole new world of possibilities in the
production of materials as diverse as 'smart' clothing through to
television screens and solar energy panels (November 2005)

e.g. for Systems and Technology: As future oil prices soar, a small
CSIRO-developed device may be all you need to power your car (November
