In October Queenslanders will head to the polls to elect the next state government. The election will no doubt be framed around cost-of-living, healthcare and youth crime. Amidst these critical issues, QFF is urging politicians and the voting public to broaden this scope to include the biosecurity, water, energy, and land use planning issues impacting Queensland farmers and in turn, the state’s food security and the viability of its regions.QFF recently released our election priorities, presenting a range of policy and funding asks and articulating our position and aspirations for the sector across the key areas of energy, water, environment, biosecurity, land use and water planning, risk mitigation and disaster response, farm viability, and transport and infrastructure.Agriculture has an important role to play not only in the contribution it makes to the Queensland economy, but also what it contributes to the very fabric of regional communities, food security and the ability to achieve meaningful and sustainable environmental outcomes.Whatever decision the Queensland public makes in October, it is important that the resulting government does not simply see the forecast value of the agriculture sector as representative of the long-term viability of Queensland farmers. We cannot rest on our laurels but must act strategically and proactively now to safeguard the future of food, fibre and foliage production for the good of all Queenslanders.QFF looks forward to all political parties clearly outlining their policy positions on the things that matter to farmers across Queensland.Read more in our President's Column below 👇bit.ly/3VSC2IP...
