Australian agriculture: an increasingly risky business
A thirst for certainty: irrigation in the Murray-Darling Basin
Farm Policy Journal – Winter 2019: Irrigated agriculture has been one of the most contentious issues of 2019. Calls for a Royal Commission into the management of the Murray-Darling Basin are an indication of just how high emotions have been running on this issue. While it is arguable that when no-one is happy it is probably close to the correct outcome, it is nevertheless disappointing that the policy settings which deliver certainty to all stakeholders do not seem to have emerged.

May Insights – Weathering the new storms: risks and culture in agribusiness
Climate, culture and risk are now mainstream governance issues in agriculture and natural resource management.
In a recent risk and governance forum held in Australia, experts highlighted that organisations should undertake rigorous review of their non-financial risks, in particular those related to culture and climate. While some sectors – including banking and agriculture – were directly called out in terms of their impact, there were implications for all sectors of industry.

Research Report – Australian agriculture:
an increasingly risky business
Risk is ever-present in Australian agriculture and has often been the driver for innovation and change. However, the nature of the risks faced by farmers is constantly changing, and so the need to understand the tools available – and to ensure that the risk management marketplace matches the needs of farm businesses – is greater than ever. A rise in institutional risk and lack of a mature commercial risk market is a serious concern for the agricultural sector, even within the context of the continued resilience of Australian farmers.

John Ralph Essay Competition 2019:
What is the future for animal agriculture?
The livestock industry makes a significant economic and social contribution to Australia as an employer and provider of nutrition, yet the sector faces challenges in the public perception of the environmental cost of traditional livestock production, changing animal welfare expectations and the emergence of alternative protein sources. With animal activism in the news, climate change threatening existing farming systems and the trend to veganism still growing around the world, what does the future look like for animal agriculture?

Much of global agriculture is now sustained by payments for delivery of ecosystem services. In Australia the agricultural ecosystems services market is immature to non-existent. Can and should ecosystem services become a more significant part of the Australian agricultural economy?
