SUMMARY:Australia's food security in a regional context
DESCRIPTION:Australia’s food security is under growing strategic scrutiny\, yet significant gaps remain in understanding its true nature\, scale\, and the policy options available to address it.\nThis hybrid workshop\, convened by the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) Agriculture and Food Forum\, and ACT Division\, with support from CSIRO\, the Crawford Fund and ACIAR (Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research) brings together researchers\, policymakers\, industry and young professionals to examine three critical questions: \n\nDoes Australia have a food security problem\, and what is its nature?\nWhat are Australia’s aspirations and role in Australian and regional food security?\nAnd what politically feasible policy levers exist to address food insecurity?\n\nThe workshop will take place over two half-days\, with the first day focused on setting the scene and defining the key challenges\, followed by a second day dedicated to exploring practical solutions and developing actionable outcomes.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Bite series: Biologicals – a glimpse into the future
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the second webinar in ATSE’s Agriculture and Food Forum series\, Biologicals – a multi-part series exploring the future of Australian food and agriculture\, from nutrition and sustainability to biosolutions\, productivity and value-added innovation. \n‘Biologicals’ is the name for a suite of existing and novel crop protection and plant health tools that includes biopesticides (living\, dead or derived natural products)\, biological agents such as natural enemies\, and biofertilizers. In the second webinar in ATSE’s Beyond the Bite series\, Biologicals – a glimpse into the future features a diverse panel spanning research\, industry\, end user and international experts unpacking both the promise and the practicalities of new bio products for agricultural productivity and safety. They will highlight opportunities and challenges across regulation\, scalable manufacturing\, cost and real-world adoption of biosolutions. Critically\, the discussion will connect these innovations to the broader imperative of strengthening food and nutritional security\, ensuring sustainable solutions can be delivered at scale for real impact on the ground.
