Broadacre farmland prices in Australia have generally experienced strong growth since 1992, accelerating in recent years. Prices have increased in 2025, at a more gradual pace.

This report provides a structured way to identify and categorise the wide range of positive and negative social impacts associated with pests and weeds and their management.

This report examines the potential for labour and seed supply to constrain reforestation efforts under the Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) scheme. Using simple ecological and economic models, we assess how increased demand for reforestation inputs affects wages and seed prices under alternative planting scenarios.

This report provides new mathematical modelling techniques to support the design and monitoring of compliance-based biosecurity intervention systems at the Australian border, such as the Compliance-Based Incentive Scheme (CBIS). These systems use a risk-based intervention approach to manage imports while reducing regulatory costs.

This Insights paper describes the current state of Australian agriculture, with the aim of providing an accessible overview of the industry and descriptive statistics.
