Agricultural Communities

Agriculture is an important industry in the Macleay. Join is to discuss what agriculture means to our local food systems, hospitality, health and job market. We will explore two key questions:

How can we get more local food on local tables?
How can we support local farms to be more commercially viable? (what does viable mean?)

Are you a local farmer? Or do you use local produce as part of your business? We are keen to stay connected with you and hear your thoughts on your industry, and how we can best include agricultural communities in this year’s Social Impact in the Regions conference (4-6 September).

Current opportunities
