The National Farmers Federation (NFF) says the rapid growth of the coal seam gas (CSG) industry is a major concern for primary producers.
The lobby group is compiling a blueprint for the future of agriculture, based on the concerns and aspirations of farmers.
The first of six agribusiness forums was held in Rockhampton in central Queensland yesterday.
The forum will hear speakers, including London economist James Shugg, about the latest global financial problems and prospects for commodities.
About 200 people are expected to attend forum again today in Rockhampton.
NFF president Jock Laurie says the resources boom must be properly managed to minimise its impact on food production over the next 40 years.
