The Tasmanian Government is working with farmers and agribusiness to develop a new long-term Agriculture Strategy for Tasmania.
The strategy will focus on boosting productivity and unlocking opportunities across freight, agritourism, education, infrastructure and workforce development.
Research, Development and Extension (RD&E) and the adoption of smarter technologies, data-driven practices and precision agriculture will be essential for future industry growth. This will also be an important focus of the new Strategy.
Agriculture Strategy Survey
From 7 - 31 May 2026 we sought feedback from farmers, agribusiness and rural communities on what's needed for a strong, sustainable and resilient agriculture for Tasmania.
The survey closed on 31 May 2026.
Survey results will be provided in due course.
