Water

We advocate for a coordinated, consultative approach to water planning policy and regulation to ensure water is efficiently supplied, affordable and secure for agriculture.

We advocate for stronger partnerships, shared responsibility and delivery models, and investment to manage Queensland’s rising biosecurity risks, because biosecurity is everyone’s risk and everyone's responsibility.

Environment

QFF believes environmental outcomes will be best achieved through innovative, voluntary on-farm practices and a collaborative approach between Government and industry to ensure a profitable future for Queensland farmers.

Workforce

We advocate for strong vocational education and training (VET), tertiary pathways, and industry-led training programs, to build agricultural skills for the future.

Energy

We advocate for a affordable, reliable and effective energy system that allows Queensland farmers to optimise energy use, adopt technology, and explore localised energy solutions.

Farm viability

We advocate for fair policy settings that support profitable farm businesses, strengthen regional communities and secure Queensland’s food, fibre and foliage supply.

Land use planning

We advocate for planning policies developed through transparent measurement and reporting of land use changes, to protect Queensland’s farmland, support best-practice coexistence with other industries and secure the future of agricultural productivity.

Risk, resilience and recovery

We advocate for stronger support frameworks to help farm businesses recover from disasters and hazards, and to build long-term preparedness and resilience.

Transport and infrastructure

We advocate for a long-term, strategic approach to transport and logistics infrastructure that secures the future of agriculture and regional communities.
