AgriFutures Australia latest report - Australian extension capacity and capability: A map and a gap analysis – highlights the need for a robust and effective national extension system to support the Australian agricultural industry to achieve impact at a production level. The report recommends long-term improvements can be made by increasing investment in coordinated professional development across the industry and also suggests creating industry-wide mentoring programs and leadership training to establish clear career paths and succession plans to help aid intergenerational knowledge transfer. AIA is a strong advocate providing better support to attract, retain and educate talent in the ag sector, and the report and its recommendations are well worth a read.

On September 6, 2024, the Suriname Agriculture Market Access Project Value Chain Platforms Kicked off the Integrated Development Program with an action learning conference. The program focuses on aligning values, fostering collaboration, and future-proofing participants’ roles within their teams and organizations. This marks the release of the first newsletter for this program, providing updates and insights as participants embark on an intensive development journey from September to December. The program is designed to prepare participants for effective change management, combining real-time learning with practical application. Board members and champions will be equipped with tools to navigate and lead transformation within their value chains, integrating the development of plans and projects with hands-on learning. Through Action Learning and multi-level thinking, these leaders talk the talk—and walk the walk, tackling real-world challenges and applying new skills immediately. The program emphasizes leadership development, improved team dynamics, and strategies for sustainable growth. Supported by the EU, FAO, LVV, and Get!T, this program allows board members and champions to grow themselves, their boards, and their value chain platforms, further strengthening agriculture in Suriname. This initiative plants the seeds for long-term success and fruitful collaboration within the value chain. 🌱 #Agriculture #Suriname #LeadershipDevelopment #SustainableGrowth #ValueChainPlatforms #ActionLearning #Collaboration #FutureProof #ChangeManagement #FAO #SAMAP #EU

It's inspiring to see forward-thinking initiatives like Tirlán's new Governance Academy, which is a promising contemporary example of governance excellence in the co-operative sector. Kudos to Olive McCarthy and the team at Centre for Co-operative Studies University College Cork and the Irish Co-operative Organisation Society for their supporting role here. The Governance Academy is a fine example of putting the often neglected 5th Co-operative Principle (education, training and information) into practice, which is vital to retaining a vibrant and diverse pool of future Co-op leaders. By providing tools, knowledge and credentials to their members, Tirlán is not leaving board succession to chance – they are making their own luck! Let's hope more Co-ops and Associations follow Tirlán's lead in investing in their members and building more resilient organisations. #Leadership #Governance #CoopInnovation #FutureLeaders #SustainableGrowth #Tirlán #UCC #ICOS

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 I recently interviewed Stephen Ng, Chairman of MAG Holdings, for The CEO Magazine. Stephen shared his vision for integrity and quality assurance in the booming aquaculture industry. 💬 "Integrity and quality assurance are things that as a food company we would never compromise," Stephen emphasized. This principle has driven MAG Holdings' transformation into one of Malaysia's leading shrimp aquaculture producers. 🐟 With Malaysia’s ideal tropical climate, MAG Holdings has rapidly expanded, now holding a significant portion of the nation's shrimp farming capacity. Their innovative and ecologically sound practices have boosted yields and positioned them for global market growth. 🌍 Exporting to countries like South Korea and Australia, MAG Holdings sets the standard for quality and sustainability in aquaculture. Collaborations with local experts and state agencies further enhance their capabilities, ensuring best practices and high standards. Stephen's commitment to integrity is inspiring, and I’m excited to share this feature in The CEO Magazine! 📰 #Aquaculture #SustainableFarming #Integrity #Leadership #MAGHoldings #ShrimpFarming #TheCEOMagazine #QualityAssurance #Innovation

“Food systems leadership is something that we can actually build deliberately.” – Joost Guijt, African Food Fellowship Director. A big challenge that faces our food systems currently is inadequate investment by public and private sector actors in making our food systems meet our continent’s needs. The transformation of our food systems relies on critical elements such as evidence-building, availability of seed capital for small-scale farmers, adaptability to changes in our climate and digital eco-systems. This is only possible with deliberate and intentional investment in food systems leadership. Joost Guijt calls on intentional and scaled-up investments by financiers and duty-bearers to support initiatives aimed at building the leadership capacity of food systems leaders in Africa.
