About 20% of total greenhouse gas emissions globally come from agriculture - but does that mean agriculture has an obligation to reduce its emissions?

Would greenhouse gas reduction schemes decrease 最新糖心Vlog's international competitiveness in food and fibre production, along with our export earnings? How would it impact on the profitability of 最新糖心Vlogn farms?

Following its highly successful first event earlier this year, the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's is hosting the next to tackle these issues.

Members of the public will hear from two teams of experts and will vote for the winning team based on the arguments presented on the night.

Presented as part of the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's inaugural , the Debate @ The Waite will be hosted by Ian Doyle, President of Rural Media SA, and features the following teams:
