What trade risks and opportunities lie on our road to net zero? How do we make sure Australian agriculture makes the most of the shift to a low carbon world? How can Australian farmers capitalise on international demand for clean, green produce and not just retain but expand our export markets?
Join us on Friday, 20 November to hear the latest leading experts from National Farmers’ Federation and Australian Wool Innovation on commodity trading discuss these questions and more.
