FPJ: What is the future for animal agriculture?
Animals have been at the heart of agriculture for millennia, yet today there is a concerted campaign from a vocal minority to reduce – or even eliminate – animals from agricultural systems. While the livestock industry makes a significant economic and social contribution to Australia as an employer, provider of nutrition and a manager of landscapes, the sector is facing many challenges in public perception.

Evidence matters: 15 years of farm policy
Discussion about Australian agriculture seems more emotionally charged right now than at any time in recent history. Whether it be response to drought, climate change action, the future of animal agriculture or a host of other issues, informed and rational debate is often replaced by hostile tribes yelling at each other with no interest in exploring a middle ground.

FPJ Spring: Managing agriculture’s ecosystem services
As part of building Australian agriculture into $100 billion industry, the National Farmers’ Federation has called in their 2030 Roadmap for ecosystem services to equal 5% of net farmgate revenue in the next decade. The Spring edition of the Farm Policy Journal outlines what ecosystem services are, how they might be delivered and examines the potential for what will essentially be a new sector for Australian agriculture.

RESEARCH REPORT: Change in the air
Climate change is a ‘wicked problem’ representing not only a threat to the Australian agricultural sector’s profitability and international competitiveness but also to our long-term food security and the viability of some regional communities. The agriculture sector is both vulnerable to and partially responsible for the heightened challenges brought about by climate change. The sector has an imperative to continue efforts in emissions mitigation and to accelerate cross-industry progress.

Conservation Agriculture in 2030 Conference
Conservation agriculture has transformed the Australian farming sector over the past 50 years by delivering increases in productivity and profitability alongside improvements in soil health, water efficiency and other environmental gains. Understanding the risks embedded in current conservation agriculture systems and anticipating impacts such as disruptive technologies and community trust issues is vital to ensuring that conservation agriculture can continue to deliver transformative outcomes for Australian farmers. At this conference policy barriers, research gaps and development opportunities will be identified by asking the question 'What might conservation agriculture look like in 2030?’
