SDGs
As climate change intensifies and global food demand rises, the future of agriculture faces mounting challenges. Then, how can countries with vastly different climates, like Australia and Indonesia, sustain their agricultural productivity while ensuring long-term food security? This question took centre stage at the Faculty of Agriculture Universitas Gadjah Mada (Faperta UGM) x Central Queensland University (CQU) Guest Lecture, where experts from both nations shared insights on protecting and growing agriculture for Australia’s and Indonesia’s success.
