Northern Australia Food Futures
The Northern Australia Food Futures Conference is Australia’s leading event on agricultural development in the “North” – an area covering 53% of Australia’s land mass, but housing just 5% of the national population. In this podcast series, we sit down with a range to guests to explore the 2023 conference theme, “Northern Myths, Realities and Opportunities” and provide a preview of the discussions that will take place at the event which attracts over 600 national and international delegates. Tickets for the 2023 conference, held in Darwin, May 22 through 25, are available at www.FoodFuturesNTFarmers.org.au.
