The Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society annual conference brought global experts in agriculture, horticulture and food security to Brisbane on Feb. 7-10 to discuss the state of play for the sector in the current politically charged world.
Climate change, Trump and Brexit were common points of discussion and Devex caught up with a number of speakers to discuss topics impacting the development sector.
