AI, climate and global shifts: Navigating the future of farming
Description
The agricultural landscape is rapidly evolving, with a complex web of forces shaping the industry's future. This episode explores a new report from Agrifutures Australia that explores the "cross-sectional forces" set to impact the sector.
Report author Sarah Nolet joins us to discuss the key findings, which cover everything from the rise of AI and mandatory climate disclosures to global conflict and systemic changes in production systems. Sarah explains how the report aims to guide the R&D community in addressing these interconnected challenges through collaborative, cross-industry efforts.
We also hear from Agrifutures Senior Manager, Rural Futures Jane Knight on why this report is a critical resource for decision-makers, researchers and producers alike as they work to future-proof Australian agriculture.
