In this episode, we reflect on the recent challenges and wins for Australian agriculture and take a look at trends that will continue to impact the sector. This is a conversation between two veterans of agricultural advocacy and leadership in rural Australia: CEO of the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation and former head of the National Farmers Federation, Matt Linnegar, and our inaugural Special Representative for Australian Agriculture, Su McCluskey.
Sitting down with our host, Claire Delahunty, Su shares her recent experience representing Australian agriculture at the COP29 Summit in Azerbaijan. She and Matt discuss the ways international events are creating headwinds and tailwinds for our rural industries, and the role of leadership and innovation in managing these.
In the face of significant uncertainty around global politics and trade, Matt and Su examine the keys to resilience in the face of challenges, and the importance of supporting the collaborative leadership required for our agricultural sector to thrive.
Some highlights:
• Su walks us through what really happens at a climate conference
• Matt’s take-aways from the 2024 Australian Farm Institute Roundtable
• What net zero means for Australian agriculture right now
• How shifting global regulations and changes of government might be felt closer to home
• Why sustainability matters more than ever
• The importance of collective, collaborative leadership
• Opportunities and causes of optimism for Australian agriculture’s future
