About
AgForce Queensland is a not-for-profit organization that represents broadacre rural producers in Queensland, including those in cattle, grain, cane, sheep, wool, and goats. Established in 1999, it serves as a unified voice for over 5,500 members who manage significant portions of Queensland's agricultural land. The organization operates through a state board, commodity boards, regional councils, and policy committees, all dedicated to advocating for the long-term growth and viability of its members. AgForce focuses on sustainable agribusiness by lobbying at various government levels to reduce regulatory burdens and promote economic development. It addresses key issues such as biosecurity, drought preparedness, and natural resource management. The organization also engages in policy development, education, and community representation, while hosting events and training programs to support its members. Through initiatives like "Every Family Needs a Farmer," AgForce aims to inform the public about modern farming practices and the importance of agriculture in the economy.
