QFF Farm Business Hour: Episode 3 Managing your Greatest Asset – Workforce

The total value of Queensland’s primary industries – agriculture, fisheries, forestry and food – is $23.54 billion, $18.4 billion of which is the gross value of production (GVP). This is a vital contribution to the Queensland economy.

The future growth of Queensland’s agriculture sector and the ability to seize new market opportunities are dependent on a highly trained and skilled workforce.

We are pleased to have Dr Diana Saunders as one of our guest panellists for this episode.  Diana is QFF’s workforce planning expert and champion of the virtual Queensland Agworkforce Summit coming up from 3 to 5 August.  The Summit aims to bring together Queensland agribusinesses to discuss workforce issues and strategies to ensure they have a sustainable workforce over the next five years.

Tune in to this episode to hear about the Summit and for an important discussion about the workforce issues and strategies that are needed to ensure a sustainable workforce into the future.

Further information will be provided soon.  Get your advance ticket today!
