The Australian’s 2025 Global Food Forum in partnership with Visy and supported by the Wall Street Journal will return to Melbourne on Friday 14 March, 2025.
Join us for this year’s Global Food Forum, themed “Towards 2050,” as we explore the critical issues shaping the future of Australia’s $150 billion agribusiness and food sector. This event will spotlight the new wave of investment, innovations, and ag technologies transforming the industry while addressing key themes like diversification, sustainability, and the role of the next generation of farmers in securing our future food supply.
From booming interest by private equity and super funds in farmland acquisitions, to the rise of corporate and family farm businesses, we will dive deep into global food trends and the latest sustainable agricultural practices. Learn about the importance of diversification and how a more resilient, adaptive agribusiness sector is preparing for the future.
The Forum will also tackle food security, highlighting how emerging technologies and innovations can address supply chain and logistics challenges, decarbonise agriculture, and open up new opportunities in international trade markets.
The Global Food Forum will bring together a world-class lineup of industry experts and key players to debate and discuss the challenges and opportunities facing Australian agribusiness today—and in the decades to come.
