THE Victorian Farmers Federation (VFF) has announced the date and lineup for their 2022 Symposium, an event to showcase the state's farming future.
VFF president Emma Germano said the inaugural event will be an unmissable opportunity to hear from industry thought leaders and meet hundreds of Victorian farmers.
"It promises to be a unique gathering to learn and hear from industry leaders and farmers from across Victoria on not only the biggest issues facing our industry, but also what lies ahead for farmers and some of the exciting innovations on the horizon," she said.
"From supply–chain delays, food security concerns, biosecurity, climate change and what's ahead in agriculture technology, there's something for everyone, no matter what you farm."
The event will be hosted by broadcasters Gorgi Coghlan and Tommy Little and will feature the below, amongst a host of other speakers:
