Farming Futures UNE

Connecting Students. Empowering Industry. Shaping the Future of Agriculture.

Farming Futures is more than a series of events - it’s a bridge. Since 2011, we’ve been connecting students, industry leaders, and communities to celebrate the future of Australian agriculture. Driven by passionate university students, our mission is to create opportunities that inspire careers, spark innovation, and strengthen the ties that will sustain the sector for generations to come.

Our Vision

We believe agriculture is for everyone - whether you grew up on the land or are discovering the industry for the first time. Through inclusive, forward-thinking events, we showcase the diversity of modern agriculture and provide pathways into rewarding careers.

Our Events

🌱 Schools Program – Introducing high school students to the exciting opportunities in agriculture, from ag-tech to sustainability.

🤝 Careers Fair – Australia’s largest student-run agricultural careers fair. A launchpad for connections between students, graduates, and industry.

🍽 Industry Dinner – An evening of networking, insights, and inspiration, bringing students and professionals together to celebrate agriculture’s future.
