Each committee receives financial and administrative support from SAFF. Their work ranges from providing social support, communicating with the media, lobbying government and other interest groups, developing codes of practice to creating and implementing strategies and improving business practices. The role of the committees is to pro-actively respond to farmers needs. Each Committee consists of elected members with specialty skills who are responsible for the representation and progression of the interests of those they represent. An Executive Officer from SAFF works with and supports each committee. SAFF members are also represented on various other state and national committees and boards.
