“A Decade of Progress: Driving Innovation and Sustainability in the Pastoral Industry.”

This theme highlights KPCA’s unwavering commitment over the past ten years to fostering growth, adaptability, and resilience across the northern pastoral sector. It is a time to reflect on our collective achievements, acknowledge the challenges we have overcome, and look ahead to a future defined by innovation and sustainable practice.

Since its inception, KPCA has championed the interests of pastoralists throughout the Kimberley, Pilbara, and Gascoyne regions-supporting a diverse membership base that includes Aboriginal producers and industry partners. Our journey has been marked by ongoing adaptation and a focus on empowering our community to build a resilient, profitable, and sustainable northern beef industry. Through strategic investments, collaborative research, and the adoption of new technologies, the KPCA and its members have played a pivotal role in driving practical solutions that benefit both business and the rangelands environment.

This year’s conference program will showcase the transformative impact of innovation in pastoralism, featuring sessions on:

• Sustainable land management and climate resilience
  
• Emerging technologies and business models in beef production
• Biosecurity, animal health, and risk management
• Market trends and opportunities for international trade
• Workforce development and community wellbeing
