Media Release: Industry Collaboration is a focus of Intensive Ag Conference

Back for its second year, TSBE Food Leaders Australia is proud to be hosting the 2019 Intensive Animal Industry Conference in Dalby on Thursday, March 7.

Southern Queensland is the home of intensive animal industries in Australia. The region has many advantages that see continued strong investment in the beef, pork, poultry and dairy sectors.  With our reliable grain production, significant infrastructure spending in air, road and rail and available workforce, Southern Queensland will continue to drive these industries within Australia. 

The Intensive Animal Industry Conference will bring together all of these four industries with the view to share best practice, advocate for common policy change and allow collaboration across the sectors. The conference aims to share knowledge and drive innovation within the region’s lucrative industry.

Building on the success of the 2018 event, which in its inaugural year saw 130 industry participants attend the conference, this year has been expanded to include the dairy sector and include a Young Industry Participants day prior to the conference and will be followed by a networking dinner.

Topics highlighted in the extensive conference program include making investment easier, updated growth stories, social license and making innovation accessible. There will be panel discussions and speakers from the University of Southern Queensland, Woolworths, AgLive, Mort & Co, Sunpork and Premise.

Bruce McConnel, General Manager of TSBE’s Food Leaders Australia said “we have built on the success from last year’s conference and this years is an ideal opportunity for intensive animal producers and industry participants to learn from the industry and consumer leaders on a range of key points, such as regional planning, innovation and social license.”
