PODCAST: From the front gate to your plate and the world’s – Food security in the era of great power competition, with AgSecure’s Andrew Henderson

The pair discuss:

• The role and importance of Australia’s multibillion-dollar agriculture industry in the nation’s security.
• The importance of maintaining the nation’s access to sea lines of communication that provides the nation’s economic lifeblood and flow of trade between Australia and the broader Indo-Pacific.
• The central role securing the nation’s food security plays in a whole-of-nation response to a conflict or crisis in the new multipolar world.
