Navigating New Challenges in Australian Farming

Tenacious Ventures, an ag-tech investment firm, has conducted "horizon scanning" to identify nearly 50 factors that could impact the risks and opportunities facing farmers and agricultural scientists by the 2030s. Working with AgriFutures Australia, the firm distilled this research into a list of 10 key emerging forces that are likely to present both challenges and opportunities for the agriculture industry. The research was published earlier in 2024 by AgriFutures Australia in the report entitled ‘Navigating a future of cross-sectoral forces. An updated horizon scan for the Australian agriculture, fisheries and forestry sector’.
