Watch now: How will Australia feed our growing population?
Just how will we feed 50 million Australians and a ravenous growing region? Is business filling the innovation void? And is Government prepared to make the brave long-term calls?
Join The Age’s National Editor Tory Maguire and our special panel line-up – Jessica Irvine (Senior Economics Writer, The Age ), Ralph Ashton (Director, Australian Futures Project), Tony Bacic (Director of the La Trobe Institute for Agriculture & Food) and Joost Bakker (Environmental activist and restaurateur) – as they examine solutions to short-termism in Australian policy making, specifically related to food security for the future.
If you have a question you'd like to ask the panel, go to Slido.com and enter the code THEAGELIVE to submit your question. The most popular questions will be answered towards the end of the discussion.
For a preview of what will be covered in the discussion, check out The Age's recent article breaking down the key issues facing food security and short-termism in Australian policy.
This event expands on a collaboration between The Age and Australian Futures Project, The Future Fix, designed to tackle short-termism in Australian policy making. From climate change to infrastructure, tax reform and addressing chronic health, we’re working out why Australian politics and policy is stuck in neutral and what we can do about it.
