| Regulation | PANEL | Where are the green shoots? A robust discussion on regulatory performance and pathways 18 months since release of the MfR review report, the sector is looking for results on the ground. Regulators will be invited to speak openly about progress, challenges, and the realities of system transformation, providing transparency, accountability, and building confidence that the regulatory system is moving in the right direction.

| Innovation | Speaker PANEL | Innovation where it matters: Voices from the ground Innovation starts at the grass roots – with the people who work the land, grow our food, and safeguard animal health. This panel provides real-world perspectives from the ground on innovation – why it matters and what good looks like in the next decade. |
| 2.45 PM | AFTERNOON TEA |
| Trade | Speaker PANEL | From grass roots to global markets If the grass roots are the producers, innovators, and regulatory settings; the green shoots are export growth and market opportunities. This panel explores what's needed domestically (regulation, innovation, workforce, sustainability) to succeed internationally. |
