SUB THEME 1

Satisfying global demand

As an exporting nation, Australia has a role to play in facing up to global food insecurity. How dire is the global food and fibre shortage, and what role can Australia meaningfully play as a global exporter as the world's population heads towards 10 billion?

SUB THEME 2

Strengthening our customer connections

The global trading environment is in a period of rapid change. How can Australia bolster its global reputation, secure new trade relationships and expand existing markets for our food and fibre?

SUB THEME 3

Leading on sustainability & innovation

As customer demands intensify, how can Australia maintain a global edge in sustainable production and innovation? We unpack what global best practice looks like and what Australia is doing to stay ahead of the curve.
