Australian agricultural trade and the populism of protectionism
Brexit and the election of Donald Trump as US President have been interpreted by some as a desire by electorates to retreat from globalisation and return to protectionist and nationalistic policies. If this scenario eventuates, circumstances could signal the end of rapid growth in international trade. Cheryl Kalisch Gordon and Michael Finucan discuss what this means for the future of Australian trade policy, and Australian agricultural trade.

Regional development, structural adjustment and decentralisation
There has been a fair bit of discussion over moves by the Australian Government to relocate government departments to regional cities and away from the major capitals. Some interpret this as an exercise in 'pork barrelling' specific electorates, others view the measures as a futile attempt to prevent or slow normal regional structural adjustment in the wake of the mining boom.

Digital agriculture and connectivity
David Lamb, UNE, and Tim O’Leary, Telstra, discuss digital agriculture and connectivity: How can Australian agriculture best ensure it is not left behind due to poor connectivity? Should the Universal Service Obligation be reframed to ensure the equitable access of all Australians to digital and data services? How can farmers be sure that any investment they make to provide on-farm connectivity is not compromised by the quality of the service linking the farm to the internet?

Internet of Things in agriculture
Over the past few years technology and agriculture have come together in an unprecedented way, as advances in the 'Internet of Things' and big data analysis are increasingly applied to the production, processing and marketing of food and fibre. February Insights' feature article de-mystifies the IoT – exploring its drivers, IoT in the broader context of farming technology, and why IoT is important for the future of agriculture.
