The Blueprint aims to bring together all with an
interest in and involvement with agriculture to have their say on the future of
our sector. To date, more than 1,000 people have taken part in a Blueprint forum
around the country, or completed a Blueprint survey. Input into the Blueprint
closes on Friday 13 July so there is still time for people to have
their say: you are strongly encourage you to tell your family, friends, neighbours
and networks about the Blueprint and ask them to contribute.
Once all input has been received, the Blueprint
itself will then be developed. The draft findings of the Blueprint will be
shared at the NFF National Congress, taking place in Canberra in October (and
open to all to attend – more details to come!). The final Blueprint document
will be presented to industry and Government in December this year: an ideal way
to finish off the Australian Year of the Farmer.
Over the course of the coming months, top level findings of the Blueprint forums will be released – to keep you up to
date on what’s been said across the country. We will be back in contact with you
re this.
In the meantime, you are encouraged to get involved in the Blueprint. As you know, the Blueprint gives all
the opportunity to have their say on the issues and challenges facing the
agricultural sector and the supply chain now and into the future, and to help
find solutions to achieving a strong and sustainable future.
We’re keen to hear from farmers, transporters,
retailers, consultants, rural businesses, agribusinesses, educators,
governments, rural communities, community groups and consumers. After all, as
the saying goes: if you eat, you're a partner in farming! To get involved, all
your contacts need to do is go to http://www.nff.org.au/blueprint.html and click on survey. It is very simple to get involved!

the Blueprint, please contact the NFF on 02 6269 5666
