**Who we are**
The **International Strategy and Engagement Branch** supports the department to prioritise its international work and provides a focal point for engagement within the department and with other agencies on whole of government international agriculture issues.

The **International Organisations and Negotiations Branch** has diverse functions including leading Australia’s engagement in the premier agriculture-related multilateral organisations and fora, including the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), WTO, OECD, G20 and APEC. The branch works closely with DFAT in the negotiation and implementation of free trade agreements and has carriage of Australia’s bilateral agriculture relationship with countries in Europe and the Americas, supporting the department’s counsellors in Brussels, London, Rome, Washington, Mexico City and Santiago. The branch works with government, industry and other stakeholders to advance Australia’s agricultural and environment policy interests globally.

The **Agricultural Trade and Market Access Branch** advances the interests of Australia’s rural industries by leading the department’s bilateral interactions with regional trading partners and co-ordinating associated portfolio input.
