Shaping the future of agriculture

Queensland's primary industries of agriculture, food, fisheries and forestry stand as a cornerstone of our economy, reaching a remarkable production value of more than $27 billion in 2025.

Supporting innovation driven enterprises, primary producers and ecosystem enablers helps unlock opportunities to commercialise, pilot and adopt innovative solutions that can leverage new market opportunities and funding sources.
