Think Tank Panel Event
Energy v agriculture: who's planning for the people?
Join RWM’s thought provoking panel at Ekka’s Agribusiness Networking Event as we unpack the future of land, jobs and opportunity in regional Australia.
As Australia accelerates towards a net-zero future, vast tracts of farmland are transitioning to solar and wind farms often with little long term workforce benefit. What does this mean for regional jobs, agriculture businesses and the communities built around them?
This panel brings together voices from across the agriculture sector to explore how renewable energy infrastructure intersects with farming, land use, and workforce sustainability. From coexistence models to policy blind spots, we’re asking: are we risking regional collapse by gutting the land that sustains our people?
“We've had about a 98 percent retention rate since the introduction of PALM Scheme where previously turnover was about 180 percent.”
