The Economic and Social Impact Study of Australian Agricultural Shows set out to identify and measure the economic and social impact of Australian agricultural shows with the aim of providing valuable information to those who support the show movement through participation, sponsorship and volunteerism.
To learn about the impact of agricultural shows, this study completed a document analysis and gathered feedback from 1,900 people. The results have been collated and are detailed in this report. The findings present government and community stakeholders with a clearer understanding of how the show movement plays an important role in increasing social capital and economic development.
