Join us for a conversation with Dennis Voznesenski, Australian agricultural economist and author of War and Wheat, his bestselling book on navigating markets during global conflict.

“History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” – Mark Twain

Dennis unpacks the major forces driving today’s grain and cattle markets, from war-driven supply disruption to tighter credit conditions, rising freight costs, and the long-term shift in global consumption led by global giants like China, India and Russia.

We review the signals that both Australian and global growers should be watching now: demand trends, geopolitical alignment, and the freight and currency dynamics that quietly determine your farm-gate price.

Please note: “War and Wheat: Navigating markets during global conflict” was written solely by the author in a personal capacity and does not represent the views or positions of any organisation.
