🚜 More than a farmer

AgForce has launched the More than a farmer campaign to showcase the vital work Qld producers do beyond growing our food and fibre.

The campaign comes as changes to the EPBC Act introduce new federal oversight of routine farm management activities, creating uncertainty for producers across the state.

Over the coming weeks you will hear directly from Qld producers, to show how modern, innovative and regenerative farming practices are striking the right balance between feeding the nation and caring for the environment.
