The Australian Grassland Association (AGA) research symposium "Resilience in the Face of Change - Pastures for the Future" was held as a weekly series of virtual sessions in March 2021. Pasture-based animal production systems must continue to evolve to meet the challenges of the future, including feeding a growing global population and maintaining or improving environmental outcomes while adapting to a changing climate. This was the fifth in a series of AGA research symposia following on from the "Australian Legume Symposium" (2012), "Perennial Grasses in Pasture Production Systems" (2014), "Livestock Productivity from Pastures" (2017) and "Soil constraints to Pasture Productivity" (2019).
