There is no farmers and others. If you eat or wear clothes, the decisions you make influence farming. Eaters will be the ultimate arbiter of where and how food is grown and how the land is cared for We all have a stake in the future of food and farming.

I am going to show you why. Farming sits at the intersection of the worlds biggest challenges around climate change, soil, water, energy, natural disasters and zoonotic diseases. Yet Australia has no national food policy. No national agriculture strategy. Our water policy is close to the Hunger Games. People with means can shop at farmers markets and order brunch, by the provenance of their eggs, bacon, butter, tomatoes and greens. But do they really understand the trade-offs required to grow it?
