SUMMARY:AFI Roundtable – Beyond $100B: Connecting Australia’s Agrifood Strategies
DESCRIPTION:What is the collective noun for a group of strategies: a confusion\, a clump? Whatever it might be\, it applies to the Australian agricultural landscape. The industry is not short of ambitious\, well-constructed\, goal setting plans and strategies. Many of these strategies have been significant influencers of investment in – and perceptions of – Australian agriculture. But do they make sense as a collective? How are they connected to each other and is the whole more than the sum of the parts?  We are not lacking ideas in Australian agricultural strategy; but we need a better system to connect these multifaceted initiatives. \nJoin us on Tues 17 October in Canberra (or online) to hear from experts and participate in roundtable workshops as we discuss the theme Beyond $100 billion: Connecting Australia’s Agrifood Strategies. \nAFI Corporate and Individual members receive considerable discounts on Roundtable registration – contact us for booking details or the for the discounted Roundtable and Membership bundle. \n* EARLY BIRD OFFER – Book now for 10% off ticket prices. \nContact Kylie Smith for more information and sponsorship opportunities. \n\nDate: Tuesday 17 October 2023\nTime: 9am–10pm (Roundtable & dinner)\nLocation: Gandel Hall\, National Gallery of Australia\, Parkes Place East\, PARKES (Canberra)
