Debate continues over the impact and sustainability of large-scale and small-scale agriculture in Australia. There are also global debates about how to produce food in the Anthropocene and how best to establish a just food system in a changing climate and unequal world.

This silence is troubling considering the central role of agriculture in dispossessing Indigenous Australians.
