The United Nations estimates the world's food consumption demand will double by 2050. North Queensland is ideally positioned to meet the ever increasing demand for global food security. The Soils in Cape York, Einasleigh Uplands, Gulf Plains and Central Queensland offer significant areas of Agricultural potential and a new frontier where agriculture can occur sustainably and in balance with the environment. These soils are suitable to a range of agricultural opportunities - sugarcane, cotton, broadscale field crops like sorghum, maize, rice, peanuts,winter grains, grass seed and hay; guar; Annual horticulture producing potatoes, tomatoes, cucurbits, sweet potato and capsicum; Perennial horticulture (i.e. mango, citrus, avocado, papaya, nut crops), Bananas, annual horticulture and intensive livestock and grazing systems. Also, Biofuel crops like Pongamia and high biomass crops like Bana grass and Sunn hemp for green coal and fuel.

Some of these crops, given the environment, will come in (mature) earlier than areas further south thereby achieving market premiums. Further, proximity to South-east Asia provides opportunity to export. There are large areas of unused arable land and water resources, access to established infrastructure and a skilled workforce, along with Stable Government.

We are committed to ensuring that projects balance technical, social, environmental and economic outcomes – but we also believe in working with Governments to find solutions to address Government policy shortfalls through Advocacy. We have achieved success for large scale cropping operations within Far North Queensland and are building our reputation for meeting the challenges posed by large, complex Agribusiness projects.
