Through Trial Farm tours, expert presentations, panel discussions, trade displays and genuine paddock conversations, the day connects practical on-farm research with the wider supply chain.
This year’s theme, Margin Matters, will bring growers, agronomists, researchers, industry leaders and end users together for a practical day focused on profitability, performance and the decisions shaping the full supply chain.
Built on real-world trial work, industry collaboration and a shared focus on progress, the Field Day brings together growers, advisers, researchers, processors, brands and industry partners to explore the ideas shaping agriculture now and into the future.

Join Agribusiness Australia for the Food Security Summit, bringing together senior leaders from across the sector to explore how Australia can strengthen national food security while remaining competitive and connected to global markets.
The Summit will share the progress of Agribusiness Australia’s food security work to date, engage industry leaders in the next phase of this important conversation, and introduce proposed themes for 2027.
Ian Proudfoot, Global Head of Agribusiness for KPMG International, will deliver a keynote address on “Pathways Towards Secure, Resilient Global Food Systems.”
Andrew Henderson and Dr John Coyne will then present key insights from the past year’s Harvesting Insight, Building Resilience: CEO Roundtables for National Food Security Preparedness, highlighting the priorities and perspectives emerging from leaders across Australia’s food and agribusiness sectors.
The program will culminate in a CEO panel discussion, “Trade Openness vs Sovereign Resilience,” featuring:

Adrian Capogreco, Managing Director, Nutrien Ag Solutions
Kristina Hermanson, Chief Executive Officer, Select Harvests
Esther Brown, Senior Director, Sodali & Co
Harvey Gaynor, Chief Executive Officer, Harvest Road

Australia’s prosperity has long been built on open markets and international trade. However, geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, climate events and changing global alliances are reshaping how nations approach food security.
The panel will examine how Australia can maintain its position as a trusted, export focused agricultural nation while building the sovereign capability needed to protect critical food production, processing and distribution. Discussion will explore the investments, policy settings and industry collaboration required to strengthen resilience, prepare for future disruptions and continue competing successfully in global markets.
The Summit will open with a welcome from Agribusiness Australia Chair Dave McKeon and provide an important opportunity to connect with industry leaders, exchange practical insights and contribute to the future direction of Australia’s food security agenda.
