On March 21, 2025, Australian Embassy, China launched the "Her Power in Agriculture Lunch" on 4F of Rosewood Beijing, and Wu Yan, Vice President of BUA, was invited to the event. Celebrating the International Working Women’s Day, the event aims to mark the achievements of women dedicated to agriculture and promote China-Australia communication and exchanges in the field of agriculture.

H E Mr Scott Dewar, Australian Ambassador to China, delivered the welcoming speech. He said that women serve as a major force and source of innovation driving agricultural development, and expressed hope that the event will further strengthen the connections and cooperation between Chinese and Australian women in the field of agriculture, so that they can jointly drive the sustainable development of agriculture.

During the lunch, Wu Yan had in-depth exchanges with Ms. Alison Dell, Minister-Counsellor for Education and Research at Australian Embassy, China, sharing BUA’s fruitful results in its collaboration with Australian universities and colleges, particularly of the “3+1” cooperative education program carried out with the Edith Cowan University for undergraduates majoring in agricultural resources and environment (environmental management) since 2012. She noted that BUA has been committed to cultivating high-caliber agricultural talents with a global vision and strong innovation capabilities, and expected deeper cooperation with the Australian side to jointly advance the progress and development of agricultural education.

Going ahead, BUA will further deepen the cooperation with Australia universities and colleges, and, centering around the strategic goal of “BUA Global Strategic Partnership Program”, drive the building of international disciplines with urban agricultural and forestry characteristics and the upgrading of the talent cultivation system, so as to inject new impetus to China-Australia cooperation on agriculture and education.
