Blueprint For Australian Agriculture
In February 2013, the NFF released the first ever Blueprint for Australian Agriculture. Almost 4,000 farmers, transporters, retailers, consultants, rural businesses, agribusinesses, educators, governments, rural communities, community groups and consumers took part in the development of the Blueprint from October 2011 to February 2013.
The Blueprint is a strategic plan for the Australian agricultural sector and its supply chain, setting out its future direction. The Blueprint is the first cross-industry plan for the sector, developed by the sector.
In 2013, the NFF has moved into the legacy phase of the Blueprint: turning the Blueprint document into action.The Blueprint was developed with the support of Westpac, Woolworths and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, with Westpac and Woolworths continuing their support into the legacy phase, along with new partners Bayer and Syngenta Australia.
