- Australia's sugar industry's been through some tough times in recent years. Growers have been battered by bad weather, low sugar levels, and even lower commodity prices. But perhaps the most serious challenge to this one billion (Australian) dollar export industry emerged about four years ago, when our biggest competitor, Brazil, developed a new improved brand of raw sugar. It immediately set new standards in quality and purity and threatened Queensland's position as preferred supplier in some of our premium markets.
- When Jeannie Gunn wrote the quintessential tale of life in the top end against all odds, she called it We of the Never Never. The Northern Territory even coined the "never never" phrase to attract tourists, though for the past century it may have just as easily summed up your chances of getting to Darwin by train.

In some of our arid zones wool producers have been relying on a native plant which hasn't always been feted in scientific circles, but they say the hardiness of saltbush speaks for itself.
- With agriculture in crisis worldwide there's good news from Latin America. Harvests are being tripled. Rainforests are being saved. The whole environment is benefiting from a remarkable bean that really does work miracles with people's lives. In the fairy story, Jack plants a magic bean and his family prospers. Now in Latin America farmers are planting a magic bean with similar results. The bean is called "Mucuna" - the a velvet bean and extraordinary claims are being made for it: bigger harvest and more food without cost to the environment.
- An increasing number of Australian chefs are making their mark at some of Asia's best-known hotels and restaurants. Thanks to improved logistics and airfreight, most of the quality fresh ingredients they learned to work with here in Australia are still on their menus.
- Good genetics has always played a vital role in producing top quality sheep meat and wool. The establishment of a genetic database in 2005 brought a more scientific bent to the process and researchers are close to mapping the sheep genome.
