AgForce continues to advocate strongly on behalf of Qld producers as proposed reforms to the EPBC Act progress through the Federal Government 💪

Our team has been engaging extensively with key decision-makers at both the state and federal levels to ensure the voice of agriculture is front and centre in discussions around environmental reform. AgForce CEO Niki Ford recently met with the Qld Minister for the Environment and Tourism, Andrew Powell, to highlight the importance of recognising farmers as active environmental stewards 🌱

The EPBC reforms have the potential to significantly impact agricultural businesses, and AgForce remains committed to advocating for fair, balanced policies that deliver certainty for producers and support a productive, sustainable future for Australian agriculture.

🚜🌱 Who's caring for Queensland's landscapes? Farmers are.

While drought conditions loom and producers face rising fuel, fertiliser and feed costs, Qld farmers continue to do what they've always done — actively manage the land to deliver both agricultural production and environmental outcomes 🌾 🐮 🌱

That's why AgForce members are calling for the Federal Government's EPBC Act reforms to recognise the vital environmental services already being delivered on farms across the state, alongside the existing state-based regulations producers work within.

Take Cameron and Jacqui Tickell near Charleville. Across almost 75,000 hectares of southwest Qld, they're balancing livestock production with the careful management of mulga country — proving that productive agriculture and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.

🚜 More than a farmer

AgForce has launched the More than a farmer campaign to showcase the vital work Qld producers do beyond growing our food and fibre.

The campaign comes as changes to the EPBC Act introduce new federal oversight of routine farm management activities, creating uncertainty for producers across the state.

Over the coming weeks you will hear directly from Qld producers, to show how modern, innovative and regenerative farming practices are striking the right balance between feeding the nation and caring for the environment.
