The Queensland Farmers’ Federation is encouraging farmers to book a ticket for next week’s Food Leaders Australia (FLA) Intensive Ag conference in Dalby.
The two-day conference, organised by FLA and economic development group TSBE, will bring together farmers and representatives from the beef, pork and poultry industries to explore a range of topics, including the social licence to operate, waste management, planning, government services and facility construction.
QFF President Stuart Armitage encouraged farmers to attend to hear from a wide range of speakers and to have their say about the future of intensive animal industries.
“As the peak advocacy body representing the state’s chicken meat, pork and egg industries, QFF is proud to be a conference partner and commend FLA for pulling the event together,” Mr Armitage said.
“The conference will give the State’s intensive animal industries the opportunity to come together to discuss and tackle common problems.
“This event is a must-attend for intensive animal farmers, finance advisors, operators, input suppliers, governments and exporters.
“The intensive animal industries are big employers and drivers of regional economies, and with the global demand for protein continuing to increase, they have a bright future.”
The Intensive Ag Conference will be held on February 28 and March 1 at the Dalby Showgrounds.
Registrations close on Monday (February 26) and tickets can be booked online
