Our Future Better Farmed
Our farmers were ready for a conversation with all Victorians about how food and fibre is produced in our great state. We called it Open Gate Conversations. Like a welcoming farm gate, Victoria’s farmers opened up their farms in a virtual conversation.
We believe in a sustainable future for farming in Victoria. This is your chance to ask real farmers how this vision comes to life on the land.
What we care about
Animal welfare
Victorians expect high standards of animal welfare for all animals, including pets or farm animals.
Food Quality
Victoria’s farmers play an important role to ensure food sold in Victoria is both high quality and safe.
Sustainability
Farmers have a big role to play in the pursuit of sustainable food production and land management.
Open Gate Conversations has now closed.
