Australia exporting to the world

As global population explodes the need for food is growing daily.  The amount of land and water available to grow food is probably much smaller than you think.  This video shows the dilemma faced in feeding the world today.

 Only Farmers can grow the food we need to survive, but food production will need to double by 2050.
Each Australian farmer produces enough food to feed 600 people.  150 of these people are Australians and 450 people are overseas.

Australian farmers export around 60% of what they grow which in 2010 - 2011 earned the country 32.5 billion dollars.

 

The farming sector continues to grow and out performs other sectors.
Australian farmers also look after large areas of our land and are continually working on advancing their farming techniques in an effort to produce bigger yields while looking after our environment.
