The NFF strongly believes that agriculture is key to Australia’s future prosperity and that our vision of a $100 billion industry by 2030 is within reach if we get the economic, social and environmental policy settings right. Australian agriculture needs the Australian Government to reward effort, encourage regional entrepreneurship, provide a supportive regulatory environment and the critical infrastructure in both our regions and our cities that enable farmers to innovate, increase productivity and get their products to domestic and global markets. This submission outlines 5 key ingredients and 54 detailed recommendations in our recipe for a $100 billion industry by 2030. Australia’s next wave of prosperity depends on the Australian Government backing Australian agriculture and our regions with sensible, evidence-based policies.
