| Under the sponsorship of the University of Sydney, on 5-6th December 2002 the future of farm management in Australia was discussed.

| Farm transfer between generations of the same family has long been considered a highly significant aspect of rural ideology in Australia with major ramifications for farm management decision making. However, the importance attached to family farm succession has been increasingly questioned in current literature.

Implications of this trend for farm management are flagged and directions for further research explored. |

At this Workshop leading farmers, industry leaders, corporate representatives, academics, researchers and extension officers explored the future of farm management (education, research and consultancy) in Australia.
