Energy Sovereignty: Protecting Farmers, Powering the Future (June 2026)

The latest global oil shock has deeply shaken farmers around Australia. Join us for the launch of a policy roadmap that shows how we can power our farms and regions into the future. Australia’s farmers are heavily exposed to a global energy market they do not control. It doesn’t have to be this way. In June, we launched a policy roadmap authored by Professor Ray Wills and FutureSmart Strategies. This report outlines a practical plan to pivot from dependence on fossil fuels and foreign supply chains to regions that are secure and energy sovereign. We’re talking about reform that rewards resilience, unlocks funding for desperately needed regional infrastructure, and maximises the benefits for farmers who are investing in the future.
