In this edition of the Food Systems Podcast, Alex Turk talks to Katie McRobert, Executive Director of the Australian Farm Institute, during an interview at this year's Forum for the Future of Agriculture Annual Conference. Katie explains how Australian farmers operate in a very different policy environment, with no public support or subsidies, it’s purely market-driven. So, looking for those things that unite rather than focusing on the differences is extremely important. She believes that if we can articulate our shared values, we can then design implementation strategies suitable for different jurisdictions while all working towards the same goal of sustainable agriculture.
