Welcome

On behalf of the Australian Society of Agronomy, it is my pleasure to announce that the 21st Australian Agronomy Conference will take place in Albany, Western Australia, from Monday 21 October to Thursday 24 October 2024.

The Australian Agronomy Conference is the premier meeting that brings together professionals, researchers, and experts in the field of agronomy from around the country. It serves as a platform for the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and experiences that contribute to the advancement of sustainable agricultural practices.

Known by its Noongar name Kinjarling, or ‘the place of rain’ Albany has been selected as the location for the 2024 conference due to its significant contributions to agricultural research and its stunning natural beauty. The region’s fertile farming systems, diverse landscapes, and unique flora and fauna make it an ideal location to appreciate the intersection of agriculture, environment and traditional systems and knowledge.

By attending the 21st Australian Agronomy Conference, you will have the opportunity to engage with a diverse range of topics, including crop management, soil health, pest and disease management, climate change adaptation, precision agriculture, and many other relevant subjects. The conference program will feature presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and field trips showcasing the latest research and innovations in agronomy.

We believe that your participation in the 21st Australian Agronomy Conference will not only expand your knowledge and expertise but also provide valuable networking opportunities with professionals and researchers in the field. It is through such collaborations that we can collectively address the challenges facing the agricultural industry and work towards sustainable solutions.
