The farm industry will get an insight into the best investment segment returns for the next 12 months from expert speakers at the 2025 Outlook conference
The Outlook 2025 conference will be a unique event for the farming industry, offering an opportunity for stakeholders to engage in cross-cutting conversations around agriculture’s productivity, sustainability, and the possibilities that are ahead.
Themed ‘Insights for Action: Fostering Growth in a Changing World,’ the Outlook 2025 conference will bring together influential local and international speakers, including industry leaders, government representatives, and experts, to discuss the future of agriculture in the face of global shifts.
Taking place at Hotel Realm Canberra ACT and online on the 4 and 5 March 2025, the conference will host 12 engaging sessions, designed to foster knowledge exchange, debate, and deliver actionable insights.
Participants will explore key issues such as uncertainty around the future of trade, sustainable productivity and net zero, the evolving role of data, Indigenous agricultural enterprise, farm input security, capital investment, workforce – and more.
The Executive Director of ABARES Dr Jared Greenville will deliver the much anticipated Economic Outlook for Australian agriculture on the opening morning of the event.
“The effects of climate change, resource scarcity, geopolitical instability, and changing market conditions mean we need to seriously consider our responsiveness and adaptability,” Dr Greenville outlined.
“Understanding economic trends and productivity hurdles is essential for developing resilient agriculture, fishery and forestry sectors and supply chains.
Dr Greenville explained how this year also marks 80 years since ABARES was first established as a research organisation.
“ABARES has a rich history and a wealth of expertise in applied economic and scientific research used to provide timely input to industry and government decision-making,” Dr Greenville added.
“Insights from ABARES will be shared at the conference alongside expert views from industry, government and academia to highlight some of the challenges, evolving needs and solutions for the sector, Dr Greenville concluded.
For those unable to attend in person, the conference will be streamed online, allowing a broader audience of industry stakeholders to participate remotely.
Registration is now open for both in-person and online participation, as well as for the exclusive Welcome Sundowners networking function starting at 5pm on 4 March 2025.
