The National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) is the peak national body representing farmers and, more broadly, agriculture across Australia. It is one of Australia’s foremost and respected advocacy organisations.

The NFF advocates on behalf of Australian farmers and the broader agricultural sector, ensuring their priorities are heard by government and decision-makers. Through policy development, research and engagement, the NFF works to secure practical outcomes that support productive, profitable and sustainable agriculture.
The 2030 Roadmap is Australian agriculture’s plan for a $100bn industry, mapping out the steps required to reach our vision. Based on current trajectory, we are forecast to reach this milestone four years ahead of schedule.
