Blueprint for Australian AgricultureThe Blueprint for Australian Agriculture aims to bring together all with an interest in, or involvement with, agriculture to help shape its future direction. Farmers, transporters, retailers, consultants, rural businesses, agribusinesses, educators, governments, rural communities, community groups and consumers are all invited to take part. After all, as the saying goes: if you eat, you're a partner in farming. The Blueprint is about giving you the opportunity to have your say on the issues and challenges facing the agricultural sector and its supply chain now and in the future, and your thoughts on the opportunities and solutions to achieving a strong and sustainable future. The Blueprint is an initiative of the NFF, Westpac and Woolworths, and once developed, will map out where we as an industry want to go and how we are going to get there. And to do so, we need your help. How to get involved:There are many ways you can get involved in the Blueprint. You can: Forums are taking place in every state and territory from March to May 2012:
Additional locations for forums are soon to be announced. We have developed two Blueprint Toolkits that take all the work out of running a Blueprint session - one for farmers and agribusinesses, the other for community groups:
> Keep an eye out for Blueprint... as many other organisations and events will be talking about it on our behalf this year, including the Australian Year of the Farmer roadshow as it travels around the country, and the Landcare facilitators in your local area.
