As new energy, advanced manufacturing and low carbon industries emerge across the Gladstone region, agriculture is uniquely positioned to participate, partner and thrive with these industries.

This industry breakfast brings together producers, agribusiness, government and innovators to explore practical opportunities for agriculture to co-exist with and benefit from renewable energy and bio-based industries.

The focus of this event is on real projects, real partnerships and real income pathways, showcasing how primary producers can:

  • Diversify revenue
  • Future-proof their operations
  • Play a central role in the region’s economic transition.
