Queensland’s sugarcane industry has seen its fair change of change and innovation, and with talk of sustainable aviation fuel and energy generation, there’s plenty more on the horizon.
Its work over recent years to ramp up sustainability credentials has helped the environment, while also paving the way for the next round of technological advances.
In this episode of Re:, Currie director, Fiona Davis, chats with Owen Menkens, a fourth generation cane farmer and chairman of the Queensland Canegrowers Organisation about the industry and everything in between.
They reframe and examine a wide range of topics surrounding cane growing, from the challenges it faces, to sustainability in agriculture, leadership, and the impacts of climate change. It’s one not to miss!
