Abstract

Government policy not always in obvious ways has played an important role in shaping agriculture in northern Australia (NA). Trade, immigration and Indigenous policies have been important as have economic investments in infrastructure and research, development and extension (RD&E). These policies have evolved over the past century influencing agriculture in different ways. This history is briefly discussed to provide a context, prior to considering the current opportunities and risks for agriculture in NA.
