- Soil health
- Cover crops, rotations and minimum till
- Consumer education
- Biology and microbiome
- Composting and soil
- Crop health
- Integrated pest, disease and weed management
- Genetics and new varieties
- Optimising inputs
- Nutrient use efficiency
- Waste
- Fuel
- Irrigation
- Carbon and climate
- Understanding policy, markets and methods of measurement
- Resilient production systems (adaptation)
- Mitigation.
