VFF symposium to showcase Victoria’s farming future

THE Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF) is pulling together a who’s who of the industry to speak at the 2022 VFF Symposium in October.

VFF president Emma Germano said the inaugural event would be an “unmissable” opportunity to hear from industry thought leaders and meet hundreds of Victorian farmers.

“It promises to be a unique gathering to learn and hear from industry leaders and farmers from across Victoria on not only the biggest issues facing our industry, but also what lies ahead for farmers and some of the exciting innovations on the horizon,” she said.

“From supply-chain delays, food security concerns, biosecurity, climate change and what’s ahead in agriculture technology, there’s something for everyone, no matter what you farm.

The event will be hosted by broadcasters Gorgi Coghlan and Tommy Little and will feature meteorologist and weather presenter Jane Bunn; Institute of Integrated Economic Research Australia chair John Blackburn AO; Australian Food and Grocery Council chief executive Tanya Barden; Primary Industries Climate Challenges Centre director Dr Richard Eckard; Meat and Livestock Australia’s ‘Lambassador’ Sam Kekovich; Nutrien Ag Solutions managing director Rob Clayton; Ethical Swine Raign ‘Buck’ Buckingham and Rare Breeds Trust of Australia Katy Brown.

The 2022 VFF Symposium is on October 13 and 14.
