National Farmers’ Federation’s (NFF’s) 2nd National Congress

The National Farmers’ Federation’s (NFF’s) 2^nd National Congress will be held at The Grand Hyatt in Melbourne over 5-7 September 2010.

The full 2010 National Congress Program is detailed in the Registration and Information Brochure, available online at: http://congress.nff.org.au/program.html

The 2010 National Congress theme of ‘Responding and adapting to change’ will bring together farmers, whole-of-chain participants, government and leading experts to discuss and debate the major issues, challenges and opportunities ahead of Australian agriculture.

The 2010 National Congress will explore:

• Federal politics in two major political debates between Ministers and Opposition spokespeople on agricultural policy and water reform;
• New wave consumerism and its implications for the sector;
• Practical on-farm climate action;
• Feeding ourselves and the world towards 2050;
• Breaking the shackles of infrastructure, research and population constraints; and
• Property rights – the clash between mining, agriculture and the environment.

Now is the time to think about your place at this major event. For more information on the 2010 National Congress visit the website at: http://congress.nff.org.au.
