National Farmers' Federation

ABOUT NATIONAL FARMERS' FEDERATION

Our members.

The National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) is the peak national body representing Australian farmers and agriculture. Our members include state farming organisations, national commodity groups and agricultural associations from across the country. We are grateful for the support of our members, and their dedication to a strong, sustainable and profitable agricultural sector.

Through our members, the NFF represents thousands of farmers, producers and agricultural businesses, ensuring their voices are heard on the issues that matter most to regional communities and the future of Australian agriculture.

The NFF does not offer direct individual memberships but if you are a farmer, producer or agricultural professional interested in becoming part of the NFF network, we encourage you to join one of our member organisations. By becoming a member of an NFF member group, you gain access to industry representation, resources, networks and advocacy at both the state and national level.
