Feast or Famine?

South Australia is well placed to play a modest but significant role on the global stage of sustainable food security. Despite the well publicised boom in mining-related industries, agricultural production and export remain the greatest contributors to our state's economy - and feed a substantial portion of the world's population. A selection of videos featuring the keynote speakers from the highly successful Feast or Famine Conference are now available to view.
