Northern Australia Food Futures Conference 2021

Held in Darwin, Northern Territory, the program features over 50 national and international speakers, workshops, farm visits and technical sessions on cotton, grains, horticulture, fodder, forestry and niche crops. Hosted by the NT Farmers Association, the Conference will have a strong focus on development and the environment, as well as discussions set to identify investment opportunities in agribusiness.

The agricultural development opportunities that exist in Northern Australia are diverse and extensive, with the region boasting 43% of Australia’s land mass, over 50% of Australia’s available irrigation water and 1.4 million ha of arable soils.

Food Futures is designed to lead the way towards maximising the development of northern agriculture, led by a combination of industry, government agencies and politicians, with targeted conversations on how public and private sectors can work together to successfully develop agriculture in the north.

Now in its 4^th year, the biennial Food Futures Conference attracts the leaders in Australian agriculture, with strong participation and support from industry organisations such as the National Farmers Federation, Cotton Australia, Grains Research and Development Corporation, Hort Innovation, Agrifutures Australia, and CSIRO and is well supported by the 3 northern Governments of Northern Territory, Western Australia and Queensland.
