What we eat, how it is produced, and the systems that support animal agriculture have profound environmental consequences. This presentation explores the environmental impacts of livestock farming, including its contributions to climate change, land degradation, water use, and biodiversity loss, and examines why current models of animal agriculture are increasingly under pressure. The talk invites a critical rethink of how food is produced, moving beyond individual consumer choices to consider the broader political, ethical, and ecological dimensions of food systems. Drawing on my research in food system sustainability, I discuss how Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand are responding to these challenges, and explore emerging alternatives, such as plant-based proteins and precision fermentation, that aim to reduce reliance on animals while supporting more just and environmentally sustainable food futures.

For the first time the Animal Rights Forum will be hosting an International Anti Vivisection panel Discussion session. Never has this issue been more important to expose and campaign against the abhorrent horrors that animals endure behind closed doors in Laboratories.
Animals are not human models, inflicting such pain and torture on them is a violation of their natural rights, this must end. Efforts must be made to encourage the use of more humane effective methods that can better predict human reactions.

Street activism is a powerful tool for social and political change, acting as a visible, direct, and often emotional method to influence public opinion and policy. Hear from local Sydney Activists who outline the Key benefits of street activism, how to avoid conflict, stay resilient and much more.

Join a distinguished panel of greyhound rescuers, advocates, and political changemakers from across Australia and the USA as they share the latest insights on the fight to end greyhound racing in Australia. Gain a clear picture of where the industry stands today, why its future is under growing scrutiny, and how dedicated organisations are elevating greyhound welfare on the world stage. This session offers exclusive updates, powerful strategies for lasting change, and an opportunity to be part of the movement shaping a better future for these gentle dogs who have been mistreated and exploited.

This year we are introducing a new aspect to the forum: Discussion Circles. These will be an opportunity for anyone present to get their voice heard by others, each session on centring the discussion on a different topic. Each discussion circle will be open to 12 people, it’ll be first come, first served!
