How Can I Help?
The Qld government’s Strategic cropping land - Policy and Planning Framework Discussion Paper is a positive step forward for agriculture and the first time anywhere in Australia that a government has taken the mature and responsible view that our strategic food production assets should be protected from unnecessary mining.
FutureFood Qld urges all Queenslanders to make a submission to government in order to have a say in where their food needs will come from.
The submission form is an easy one to fill in, consisting of multiple choice questions, and space for extra information if desired.
