Formation of the AASF Advisory Committee

We are excited to announce the formation of the Advisory Committee for the Australian Agricultural Sustainability Framework (AASF).

A large number of expressions of interest were received for the Advisory Committee, and following an evaluation of the applicant’s experience against the Terms of Reference and the outlined skills and competencies, eight members have been selected. The members have diverse expertise across agriculture, governance and operating models, strategic and operational planning, investment planning, international trade and market access and commercialisation of R&D.

The Committee members are:

  • Nick Austin, NED and experienced board director
  • Grace Falkiner, George Weston Foods
  • Allison Harker, NED and experienced board director
  • Ange Hutchinson, AspireAg
  • Charles McElhone, Dairy Australia
  • Kylie Porter, SunRice
  • Troy Setter, Consolidated Pastoral Group
  • Fiona Simson, NED and experienced board director

We are confident that this experienced group will provide invaluable guidance as the AASF evolves. We look forward to sharing the insights and contributions of the Committee.
