Future of food at Darwin
ESCAPE winter and get inspired at the Northern Australia Food Futures conference next month.
The annual conference, held at the Darwin convention centre July 2 to 4, is tropical agriculture's peak event, facilitating conversations amongst researchers, politicians and farmers.
A new initiative for the 2018 conference is the opportunity to participate in the ANZ Farm Field Tour.
Organisers said the half-day tour will give participants the opportunity to visit and talk to, successful farmers growing mangoes, vegetables, barramundi, pineapples and other tropical fruits in the Darwin rural area.
The tour will be followed by an informal barbeque at Arnhem Fruits, a large mango packing shed.
