CANEGROWERS is the peak representative body for Australian sugarcane growers. It is a not for profit organisation. Water, energy, workforce, biosecurity and risk management were priorities across QFF s membership of industry organisations in 2022 as farmers faced the complexities of navigating the energy transition, natural capital, biosecurity readiness, workforce planning and building business resilience. QFF provided support and leadership from a policy, advocacy and on farm project perspective. The year we saw the long running Energy Savers Plus Extension Program conclude with participating farmers achieving impressive energy savings along with emission reductions. QFF continued extensive resilience and recovery work on drought and natural disasters supporting our members to build risk management capacity across Queensland agriculture. The Farm Business Resilience Program and the commencement of a collaborative project investigating appropriate insurance products and improving the understanding of insurance and its use as a risk management tool, is working to assist Queensland agriculture in preparedness. As workforce shortages continue to impact farming enterprises across the state, QFF sought to understand the current and emerging workforce issues experienced across the sector with the consultation findings informed an important strategic 5year strategy, the Queensland Agricultural Industry Workforce Plan 20222027, in partnership with Jobs Queensland and the Rural Jobs and Skills Alliance. QFF made representation on a number of important issues including proposed work health and safety regulations (Quad bikes and sidebyside vehicles); regulatory review of CSGinduced subsidence on agricultural land; Queensland Competition Authority draft determination regulated retail electricity prices for 2022/23 and Queensland s nonurban water policy positions, just to name a few. The year saw QFF work closely with intensive livestock members to help build industry capacity, support farming enterprises across the state to grow their agritourism opportunities, and champion the needs of our members in the Federal election campaign debates.
