This week, we’re recognising Agsafe's Product Stewardship Week and the role organisations like ours play in supporting sustainable agriculture.

ASF is proud to partner with CropLife Australia through the bagMUSTER program, helping drive practical recycling solutions across the industry. We also recognise the many ASF members who have taken the lead by joining the program and doing their part to ensure seed bags are being responsibly recycled.

It’s a great example of industry collaboration delivering positive outcomes across the supply chain. Learn more: agsafe.org.au/stewardshipweek

Last week our Board had the pleasure of meeting with a number of industry partners to hear about their latest work and explore opportunities for alignment.

Thanks to the teams at National Farmers' Federation, CropLife Australia, Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, and Agsafe for the engaging discussions and valuable insights.

We also hosted end of year drinks for our Corporate Sponsors and Canberra-based industry colleagues - a chance to reflect on 2025 and celebrate the strong partnerships that help drive our work forward.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and as always, a big thank you to our Corporate Sponsors for your continued support. We’re looking forward to an even bigger 2026 together!
