Essay Competition: Government’s role in Aus Ag
The AFI’s annual John Ralph Essay Competition aims to directly engage the ag stakeholder community in debate on policy issues impacting the Australian farm sector. You don't have to be a scholar to enter - everyone with an informed view is eligible! The 2023 topic is:
What degree of government intervention is required to future-proof Australian food and agriculture?
In Australia the degree, type and level of government intervention in agriculture – and its subsequent capacity to help or hinder farmers – is a topic of ongoing debate. What kind of support strengthens, and what kind weakens? Where is the tipping point?
Entries in both scholarly and opinion categories are due in less than ONE MONTH (28 August). Winners receive up to $3000 along with a year’s AFI membership, attendance at the October Roundtable and publication in the Farm Policy Journal.
