With Sheep Producers Australia, Julian undertook a project that explored how industry organisations represent producers and influence government decision-making. The project allowed him to lean into his interest in policy and science communication while working on a real challenge facing the sector.

Working as part of a team of six students, Luella helped develop a model examining a new ownership model of solar and battery assets on farms. The project used a commercial piggery in Kerang, Victoria, to test both the economic and environmental feasibility.

From research to real-world impact, PPB Technology's journey highlights the power of Australian science, entrepreneurship and collaboration. Discover how Agrifood Hub membership accelerated its growth through access to facilities, networks and partnerships and how it could help your venture thrive

From 40°C Córdoba to wintery Canberra, new research shows plants are near their thermal limits. Heatwaves quietly disrupt reproduction, ecosystems and food systems. Global collaboration, policy engagement and innovation are vital to build climate‑resilient agriculture and landscapes.

What does it mean to be an emerging female scientist today?
For Dr Samantha McGaughey it means using science to rethink how we build a more sustainable future and bringing the community along for the ride.

New ANU–CSIRO tech turns wastewater into fertiliser, cutting import reliance, lowering costs and emissions, and creating a circular, resilient nutrient supply for Australia's agrifood system.

To support our emerging talent, AFII is offering several sponsorships (valued at up to $670 each) for Early Career Researchers (ECRs) and postgraduate students to attend the 2026 Crawford Fund Conference.

ANU researchers are uncovering why some wheat varieties recover better from extreme heat. Focusing on the protein Rubisco, the team aims to identify biological markers of heat tolerance, helping breeders develop more resilient crops for a hotter future.

As extreme heat intensifies, Australian farmers face unsafe working conditions and rising risks to food systems. New research on crop heat tolerance, global collaboration and smarter farm design are essential to sustain agriculture, ecosystems and communities in a hotter future.
