Thank you for celebrating national ag day!
As Australians, we all enjoy the world class food and fibre grown right here in Australia. But some Australians know very little about the farmers and workers who put food on their tables.
National Agriculture Day is your chance to celebrate and learn about Australia’s incredible farm sector. Held on the third Friday of November each year, it’s one day to celebrate an industry that’s part of our lives – every single day.
The theme for Ag Day 2026 is Our Farmers, Our Future, puts people at the centre. It’s about showing Australia the people growing our food and fibre, managing our land, and sustaining our regional communities. Together, we can remind the nation that every meal, every fibre of clothing, every thriving community, is powered by agriculture.
