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.

Farm Policy Journal – Autumn 2019:
Disruptions in agricultural trade

Australian agriculture is trade dependent. Around 65% of Australia’s agricultural production is exported and if the sector is to achieve the National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) target of $100 billion of farmgate output it will mostly occur as a result of export growth. Yet there are many current disruptive factors to global trade which are impacting on the reliability of markets and creating uncertainty in forecasting where export growth may be achieved. This edition of the Farm Policy Journal explores the current environment surrounding global agricultural trade.

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?
