Farming for the future

The environment is shifting—and our farming practices need to shift with it.

Crops like wheat and barley, long staples of Australian agriculture, are struggling in the face of climate change. As pressures mount on farmers, land, and livelihoods, our agricultural future depends on diversification: exploring crops that thrive where others can’t.

The contenders? Hemp, agave and Plantago.

Join us in May to learn why University of Adelaide researchers are championing these cutting-edge crops.

The presenter

Professor Rachel Burton

Date: Tuesday, May 13, 2025
