NuffCon2026

The Nuffield Australia National Conference 2026 will be held in Darwin and is the flagship annual gathering of Nuffield Scholars, investors, and agricultural leaders from across Australia and internationally. The event brings together approximately 300 delegates, including primary producers, agribusiness professionals, researchers, policymakers, and supply chain stakeholders.

The conference is a highly regarded platform for knowledge exchange, where returning Nuffield Scholars present globally informed research and insights across key agricultural sectors, including red meat and livestock. The program focuses on addressing industry challenges, improving productivity, and supporting informed decision-making through practical, real-world learnings.

Delegates represent a cross-section of the red meat and livestock supply chain, from producers and processors to service providers and industry organisations. The event provides a unique opportunity to engage directly with this audience through presentations, panel discussions, and networking sessions.

Hosting the conference in Darwin highlights Northern Australia’s strategic role in the red meat industry, including live export, biosecurity, and access to international markets. The program will explore themes such as sustainability, innovation, and supply chain resilience — all highly relevant to MLA’s priorities.

Overall, the event is designed to foster informed decision-making, encourage adoption of research and innovation, and strengthen connections across the industry.
