• Sustainable Farming and Fishing

Contributions on the suggested topic are indicative and not restrictive, and we would welcome suggestions on aspects of innovation that could be of interest to delegates. A diversity of presentation styles is encouraged, including case studies, video and interview. The representation of diverse voices is also encouraged, to include education, land managers, indigenous experience, businesses such as mining based on rangeland resources, researchers, specialist consultants and students.

Student presentations will be a feature of the conference and up to six students will be offered support to attend the conference if their contribution is chosen for presentation.

If your contribution is selected as either a poster or spoken presentation, at least one author must be registered and attend the conference.
