Speakers

Panel | Stuff ups and dead-set legends

Let’s get it off our chests. What are the main frustrations standing in our way – red tape, rising costs, climate extremes, market policies, labour shortages – you name it? And who are those unsung heroes walking among us (or taking to the stage); humans that exemplify everything we love about farming  -  pushing boundaries, finding solutions and generating good will?

Our panelists will nominate their own answers and encourage the audience to do the same.
