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 discussed the value our farmers bring as stewards of the Victorian countryside and providers of fresh, nutritious food, as well as issues that matter to all Victorians; climate change, sustainability, use of chemicals and other technology, animal welfare and managing landscapes.
Open Gate Conversations is managed by the Victorian Farmers and supported by the Victorian State Government.

Hi, You might know me from Channel 10’s The Project and my other TV and theatre roles.
What you may not know is I grew up on a sheep farm in western Victoria.
I am passionate about how our food and fibre is grown and how our Victorian farm landscape is managed.
Like all parents, I want nutritious and quality food for my family and to know we are farming sustainably for future generations.
If you are curious like me, you might want to find out what happens on Victoria’s farms.
Open Gate Conversations is an initiative from the Victorian Farmers to open up the farm gate, virtually, and invite Victorians in.
Ask anything you like, and we will find a farmer with an answer.
Whether you like veggies and lentils, or steak and chips, Open Gate Conversations can help you find the answers about how Victoria’s farmers are working hard for a future better farmed.
