Agriculture in northern Australia
Opinions about the potential for economic development in Northern Australia are often quite polarized.
Some involved in agriculture and mining see the north as Australia’s last frontier, on the other hand, some view the north as Australia’s last pristine wilderness.
The next edition of the Farm Policy Journal contains a series of articles that attempt to address both the potential and the realities of agricultural and broader economic development in northern Australia.
The Journal will be available for purchase here soon!
