Australia’s agricultural industries have remained internationally through continuous innovation resulting from joint industry- and government-funding as well as the willingness of Australian farmers to adopt new innovations. However, Australia’s agricultural and food sectors increasingly face declining rates of profitability growth, rising costs, volatile markets, and vulnerable supply chains. Diversifying revenue streams through value-added processing is a business imperative, and a matter of national economic security.

Global demand for sustainable, high-value food, materials and energy creates a unique opportunity. By leveraging our strengths, Australia has the potential to generate economic, environmental and social benefits positioning us at the forefront of the global bioeconomy.

In the third webinar in ATSE’s Beyond the Bite series, we will hear from experts on how we can support the innovation system across the agricultural and food sectors to increase productivity, profitability, and sustainability.

What’s ahead in the Beyond the Bite series:

Future webinars in the series will explore key challenges and innovations shaping the future of Australian agriculture and food systems, including:

• Nutrients and residue limits across the food supply chain
• The role of biofuels in Australian agriculture
