Dungog District Chamber of Commerce (DDCC) in association with the Future of Farming Steering Committee invited all businesses interested in the future of agriculture in our Shire to join a forum held between 3-6pm on Friday 6 May 2022 at the Dungog Memorial RSL.
The aim of the forum was to:

The program included speakers from Dungog Shire Council, regional agencies and organisations involved in agriculture, as well as local businesses and individuals with a passion in a variety of agricultural pursuits including, agri-tech, cattle and sheep production, dairying, farm property management, horticulture, agroforestry, training, boutique production, regenerative agriculture, agricultural service providers such as contractors, suppliers and many other areas.
