The Australian Grassland Association Inc. is hosting its annual event, “Seeds of Change,” participants will explore the latest advancements and challenges in pasture seed production, breeding, cultivar development, and pasture agronomy.
This three-day event will feature insightful sessions, field tours, and networking opportunities with industry experts and fellow enthusiasts.
The aim of the Australian Grassland Association (AGA) is to facilitate the ongoing improvement and development of the pasture industry. In order to efficiently and effectively target and use research capability there needs to be regular, structured, wide reaching reviews of the pasture industry. Such reviews need to consider past priorities and activities, the current status of research, the successes and failures and where we need to go next.
This review process takes the format of a symposium at which the scientific community, leading producers and industry stakeholders come together in order to contribute directly in the development of industry wide investment priorities and the research agenda.
To date they have had 5 highly successful symposiums;

The Australian Legume Symposium (2012)
Perennial Grasses in Pasture Production Systems ( 2014)
Livestock Productivity from Pasture (2017)
Soil Constraints on Pasture Productivity (2019)
Resilience in the face of change – Pasture for the future (2021)

Drought Resilience 2025
2025-07-09 09:00 - 2025-07-11 17:00 (Australia/Melbourne) | Geelong, Geelong, VIC, 3220, Australia
As climates warm and become more variable, the frequency and severity of droughts and other climatic events are increasing. In this context, increasing the ability of economies, ecosystems and communities to become more resilient to droughts has never been more important. Whilst traditional and novel approaches are being adopted to prepare for, predict, respond to and recover from droughts when they do occur, sharing insights and approaches across disciplines has the potential to result in innovative, high-quality research leading to practical and effective outcomes with real-world impact.
Drought Resilience 2025 will bring together experts from across the sciences, health, law, business, technology, humanities, arts disciplines as well as Traditional Knowledge to share knowledge and approaches and explore collaborative approaches to support drought resilience. The conference, hosted by the Victoria Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub, will also launch the Drought Resilience Interdisciplinary Network, DRI-Net and will explore key, intersecting themes to encourage collaboration among research disciplines.
