About the Conference

This Conference will bring together stakeholders from across the Queensland agriculture supply chain to discuss the key issues impacting agriculture in the state and explore what opportunities are available to support growth. 

The theme of this year’s event is ‘Back the bush: Our people, our future’. What does this mean? Well, we know our AgForce members and industry partners already champion the bush and fight hard for their rural communities. We know that the agriculture industry plays a huge part in supporting positive economic, environmental, societal and cultural outcomes to the benefit of all Queenslanders. But as the agriculture sector comes under increasing pressure from a range of issues, we need the support of Queenslanders from across a range of sectors, such as transport, health and the environment, to help us continue supplying world-class food and fibre to Australia and around the globe.​

This Conference will provide the opportunity for all Queenslanders to come together and work collectively on key issues facing the agriculture industry. With presentations from some of our nation’s leading minds in fields such as finance and business, sustainability, economics, science and health and wellbeing, this Conference will provide a platform for critical conversations and new thinking to ensure our sector continues to serve not only Queensland but all those who work tirelessly each day producing our high-quality food and fibre. ​

By attending this Conference, you’ll have the opportunity to help shape the future of Queensland agriculture as the state approaches an election. You’ll also be exposed to influential movers and shakers across industry and government, as well as those that are the backbone of our agriculture industry – AgForce members.
