Red tape slashed for farm tourism
Changes to agritourism rules have been welcomed following a ‘constructive’ consultation process. NSW Farmers Conservation & Resource Management Committee chair Louise Burge welcomed the move to enable farmers to establish small scale agritourism activities without the need for a development application process. “This is more red tape that has been cut, and makes it easier for farmers to start an agritourism operation,” Mrs Burge said. “We’ve been able to work constructively with the Department of Planning and Environment and Minister Roberts’ offce, and Agriculture Minister Saunders’ offce as well, to raise our concerns about the proposed changes, including caps on visitors per day and days per year for pick your own operations, and make some sensible changes to support more realistic number caps.” Mrs Burge said the changes mean farmers who wanted to set up a simple complying operation such as a roadside stall can do so without additional permission or approvals from their local council, while larger operations can still be progressed through a development application pathway. “We believe it’s important to reconnect people with where their food and fbre comes from, and agritourism is a great way to do this,” Mrs Burge said. “As well as providing easier opportunities to establish small scale agritourism activities, these changes help to protect and retain agricultural land by keeping primary production as the main business for the property “These changes are a positive opportunity to make it easier for farmers to diversify without the need to go through a costly, time-consuming development application process, and we thank the Minister for working with us.”
SKILLS SHORTAGES BITE FOOD PRODUCERS
A government report has revealed widespread skills shortages across the agriculture sector, prompting fresh calls to secure workers. The National Skills Commission’s Skills Priority List showed a “signifcant tightening in the Australian labour market”, with the lowest unemployment rate in decades, and shortages were facing most parts of the agriculture industry. NSW Farmers workplace relations chair Chris Stillard said a growing population – both in Australia and abroad – meant a growing need for food, and therefore a growing need for workers. But he said there was also a need for government to better understand the important role agriculture plays. “Everyone you talk to in agriculture either needs workers or knows someone who does, and that’s not going to get better unless we take direct action,” Mr Stillard said. “The immediate solution is to make Australia a destination of choice for overseas workers who can fll those roles now, either short-term backpackers or medium term visa holders. “Long-term, we need to look at designing suitable programs to develop the skills of Australians to fll these roles, because there are great jobs with great wages just waiting to be done.” While some still think of agriculture as farmers driving around in tractors and milking cows by hand, Mr Stillard said the reality of modern primary production meant there were job opportunities from IT to engineering, applied sciences and working with animals. Once you took in the opportunities for value-adding and food processing, he said there were entire regional industries just waiting to take off. “We saw a recent study that said four out of fve primary school students think cows are still milked by hand, and that couldn’t be further from the truth,” Mr Stillard said. “Modern agriculture is a really diverse industry and we don’t just have tractor drivers and stockhands any more, we’ve got mechanics and drone pilots and network engineers as well. “People need to eat and agriculture is where that food comes from, so for future generations of Aussie workers they can be outstanding in any feld while they’re out standing in a feld!”

AUSTRALIA’S RED MEAT AND LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY WELL PLACED TO CAPITALISE ON EXCEPTIONAL CONDITIONS
Australia’s red meat and livestock industry experienced exceptional operating conditions and our red meat is recognised as a high-quality product domestically and all around the globe, according to the Australian red meat and livestock industry State of the Industry Report 2022 released today.
The report produced by Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) provides an overview of Australia’s red meat and livestock industry from the prior calendar year, and includes fgures on production, consumption, exports and the economic signifcance of the industry and key issue snapshots. This edition examines fnancial year 2020-2021 and calendar year 2021.
Australia’s red meat and livestock industry’s turnover totalled $67.7 billion in FY2020–2021, accounting for approximately 1.7% of Australia’s total key industry turnover. Industry turnover is defned as income generated by businesses within the industry from the sales of goods and services.
MLA Managing Director, Jason Strong, said the report highlighted the resilience of Australian red meat producers in the face of both domestic and global challenges.
“In 2020–2021, Australia’s red meat and livestock industry experienced exceptional operating conditions at the farm gate level. Bolstered by aboveaverage rainfall, we have seen a continuation of the national herd and fock rebuilds,” Mr Strong said.
“The strengthening of these rebuilds has come during the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns, as well as global disruptions. These events have altered consumer behaviour and signifcantly impacted cost of living and the global supply chain.
Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Senator the Hon Murray Watt noted that this report shows Australia’s red meat and livestock industry is in tremendous shape.
“MLA’s report shows the strength of Australia’s red meat and livestock industry.
“It’s no surprise that Australian meat is seen as a high-quality product both domestically and overseas.
The last few years have seen a number of challenges thrown at the sector, but the industry is in great shape.
I’m very pleased to continue working alongside the industry to achieve the best outcomes possible,” said Minister Watt.
Exports
Red meat and livestock exports fell 22% yearon-year to total $14.6 billion in 2020–2021. However, this is 11% higher than 2016–2017 levels. The fall in exports is due to lower livestock supply, a result of the national fock and herd rebuild that occurred in FY2021.
For calendar year 2021, China held its position as the largest importer of beef and veal in volume terms, followed by the United States and Japan. While China was also the largest importer of sheepmeat in 2021, followed by the United States and the United Kingdom. The largest goatmeat importers were the United States, Taiwan, and South Korea.
Queensland continued to be the largest exporter of beef and veal in 2020–2021, accounting for approximately 54% of Australia’s beef and veal export volumes. Victoria is Australia’s largest sheepmeat exporter, accounting for approximately 40% of total sheepmeat exports.
Domestic consumption
Australia’s per capita beef and sheepmeat consumption continues to be one of the largest in the world.
The retail price for lamb has climbed higher in recent years. However, Australia continues to be one of the largest per capita consumers of sheepmeat in the world.
“In fact, per capita lamb consumption increased in Australia for the frst time since 2015. The per capita consumption of sheepmeat was approximately 5.9kg in 2021, while the global average is 1.8kg,” Mr Strong said.
Overall, two thirds of Australian consumers have maintained their level of red meat consumption over the past 10 years, while 29% of consumers have reduced their intake and 15% of consumers have increased their red meat consumption.
“Within Australia, consumers continue to demand access to Australian red meat via a range of market avenues and remain committed to enjoying high-quality red meat both at home and through a range of foodservice mediums like restaurants and pubs.
“As global economies continue to recover and supply increases, driven by the herd and fock rebuilds, red meat producers are extremely well placed to capitalise on this sensational demand and operating conditions,” Mr Strong said.
BUSH FIRE DANGER PERIOD BEGINS WITH GREATER GRASS FIRE RISK
Communities across NSW are being warned of a greater risk of grass fres after recent wet weather with the offcial bush fre season beginning today.
Minister for Emergency Services and Resilience and Minister for Flood Recovery Steph Cooke said the Bush Fire Danger Period is commencing in 92 local government areas across the State.
“While a focus remains on fooding which has been ongoing in parts of the State for more than 12 months, it’s important we also stay prepared for bush and grass fres,” Ms Cooke said.
“The rain has triggered rapid vegetation growth which is going to become a threat as it dries out. All it takes is a few days of hot, dry and windy weather for fre conditions to deteriorate.
NSW Rural Fire Service Commissioner Rob Rogers said with more rain predicted over spring, grass and crops will continue to fourish, bringing added risk.
“Recent rain has led to good grass and crop growth across the State especially in western areas of NSW and we have already seen more than 1,000 grass fres across the State since July,” Commissioner Rogers said.
Fire and Rescue NSW Acting Commissioner Megan Stiffer is reminding people planning to travel to be aware of the risk of fast-moving grass fres.
“Before travelling, check the weather and fre danger ratings for that area and make a plan to leave should a grass or bush fre take hold,” Acting Commissioner Stiffer said.
“With long weekends and especially over holiday periods, check if a Total Fire Ban has been declared and use barbeques and campfres safely and responsibly if allowed.
Landholders who want to light a fre during the Bush Fire Danger Period are required to obtain a permit, in addition to notifying their local fre authority and neighbours 24 hours in advance. On days where a Total Fire Ban is in place, all fre permits are automatically revoked.

LIVESTOCK MARKET REPORTS WARWICK W/E 14/10/2022
Cattle numbers increased to 677 head to a market fully frm and only being discounted due to lack of condition or fnish. The same could be said for the Sheep and Lamb sales as good heavy fnished articles were in short supply which keeps the averages up . The numbers of Mutton are in short supply due to restocking and the lack of sunshine to put some polish on the stock to go. Pork is still being consistent for the better types with the markets not keeping up to the supply at this time, this will soon change as we move towards the Summer and the peak ham consumption times.

CALL FOR CRACKDOWN ON UNFAIR CONTRACTS DON’T REPEAT MAP MISTAKES
NSW Farmers has called on the federal government to deliver on a key election promise to protect small businesses from larger partners who force them to accept unfair terms.
A three-month Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) probe identifed potential unfair contract terms (UCTs) and a power imbalance between farmers and big food businesses, validating concerns about the dairy, poultry meat and horticulture supply chains.
Family farming operations were often ‘price-takers’ in the supply chain, NSW Farmers President Xavier Martin said, faced with a ‘take it or leave it’ approach from large processors or retailers when trying to get the food they grow to consumers.
“I think most Australians would be shocked to learn about the way some of these farmers are treated in the production of the food we all enjoy,” Mr Martin said.
“The problem is farmers are relatively small compared to a handful of major players, and for many if they don’t ‘play the game’ they face fnancial ruin.
Prior to the election Labor promised to make unfair contract terms illegal so small businesses could negotiate fairer agreements with large partners, giving businesses with fewer than 100 staff or a turnover of less than $10 million a real shield against dodgy contracts. This has now been introduced in Parliament, and Mr Martin said there was a need for it to be delivered swiftly as there were still many reports of family farmers missing out on the “fair go” Australia prided itself on because of the concentrated market power of big business.
“With so little competition for farmers to sell to, these big companies are basically able to offer contracts on a take it or leave it basis,” Mr Martin said.
“We have seen that when those big supply chains break down, Aussie families end up paying more – and none of that fows back to the farmers who actually grow the food.
“If we want a stronger, more sustainable food supply chain then we need to ensure fairness for all involved.” The state’s peak farming body has urged the NSW Government not to repeat the mistakes of the past on land management.
The Environment and Heritage Group has released its draft native vegetation regulatory map, which it claimed would give greater certainty to landholders about vegetation on their properties. However, NSW Farmers President Xavier Martin said there had been too many bungled mapping projects in the past and farmers feared they could inadvertently lose their land rights due to errors.
“This map may have major impacts in terms of what farmers can and cannot do on their farms, so everyone needs to take a long, hard look at the draft map and raise any concerns as soon as possible,” Mr Martin said. “It is vital that any new regulation over farming land does not further inhibit productivity and operations unnecessarily or delay the critical decisions farmers make on an almost daily basis.”
NSW Farmers had been striving to assist the Environment Department to work with landowners on land management, Mr Martin said, and this map rollout must demonstrate this aim.
“Past inaccuracies and a bungled process has led to a lack of trust in the map, and its key function as a tool to enable practical decision making on productive agricultural land management options,” Mr Martin said.
“We have told all relevant Ministers during this process that NSW Farmers does not have confdence in the accuracy of the maps, and that’s a key sticking point.
Mr Martin said the outcome of any new regulatory tool such as a map must be to meet the objects of increasing productivity on private land while creating an opportunity for farmers to continue their environmental goals of healthy landscapes that beneft all citizens.
Exporters beneft from award-winning online tool
A digital platform to streamline processes and regulations for agricultural exporters has won a 2022 Australian Good Design Award. Acting Deputy Secretary at the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Nicola Hinder PSM said the award was recognition of the work the department had put in to make exporting easier. “The Export Service is a new tool designed to transform how exporters deal with government,” Ms Hinder said. “Exporting establishments can sign up to the Export Service for better control and visibility of their information online. “Over time it will be a massive win for exporters – helping them improve their interactions with the department and get their goods overseas faster because they have better access to the information and services they need. “The Export Service has changed from its frst release last year, and it will continue to evolve as it is updated with new features that are designed and tested with our exporters. “To have the Export Service recognised in its earliest releases is testament to the value of this work. We’re incredibly proud of this achievement. “Around 70 per cent of Australian agricultural produce is exported. By cutting red tape, our exporters can concentrate more on getting their quality agricultural products to markets. “We’re proud of this platform and what it can do for Australian exports, and it’s heartening to see our work acknowledged by the Australian Good Design Awards.” The Australian Good Design Awards are Australia’s oldest international awards for design and innovation, established in 1958. CEO of Good Design Australia and Chair of the Australian Good Design Awards Dr Brandon Gien said the Good Design Award was a valuable independent endorsement of professional design quality. “This is an inspiring example of digital and communicative innovation. This incredible development is clearly tomorrowfocused and will streamline workfows, increase effciency and future-proof Australia’s export market,” Dr Gien said. “We know that good design, when used effectively, can improve our quality of life and make the world around us better, safer, more effcient and more beautiful.” To visit Export Services, go to https:// agriculture-exports.awe. gov.au/.

The red meat and livestock sector continues to improve its environmental sustainability and stewardship, and suggestions this week of a “deforestation problem” in Queensland are incorrect, according to Meat & Livestock Australia.
MLA Managing Director, Jason Strong, said that livestock producers were working hard to manage their land sustainably for the next generation and to leave the environment in a better place than they found it.
“The reality is that the industry’s market access depends on our industry meeting our international obligations and national and state legislation and regulations,” Mr Strong said.“Queensland State vegetation management clearly defnes vegetation zones and which areas are primary forest areas prohibited from clearing and the secondary regrowth forest areas eligible for regrowth and invasive plant species management.
“Our industry abides by the internationally recognised defnition of deforestation that takes into account both deforestation and regrowth and we have always been open to working with WWF to come to an agreed defnition of deforestation.
“When we look at the progress the industry has made, and the targets that we have set for ourselves, it is clear that the livestock sector is headed in a positive direction.
“The Australian livestock industry has the dual responsibility of producing nutritious food to feed the world and protecting our land and biodiversity. MLA has accelerated investment to achieve this and also to demonstrate and measure these achievements.
“Industry has gone to some lengths to ensure that through the “Balance of Tree and Grass Cover” (BOTGC) tool we have the capacity to measure and report on our net national forest and woodland gain and loss annually as reported through the Australian Beef Sustainability Framework.” Mr Strong said the industry was working to secure an economically and environmentally sustainable future by: • Setting the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030 • Continuing to support a net positive annual net change in national woody cover fgure that recognises vegetation gain as well as loss • Continuing the investment to provide a highly nutritious and environmentally sustainable product. “The sector is making huge gains in our environmental sustainability and is enthusiastic about being part of the solution for sustainable production and environmental stewardship,” Mr Strong said.
“MLA is investing in innovative research to mitigate our carbon footprint, as well as programs to increase carbon storage on farms. This includes technologies to build carbon in soils, lower the cost of soil carbon measurement and management technologies, and development of practices to include trees on farms in ways that beneft livestock production. “Industry continues to take big steps forward. Simplistic criticism and exaggeration in the media this week are unhelpful and don’t recognise the incredibly positive sustainability story of the industry.”
YOUNG FARMERS THE HARDEST HIT BY SCAMMERS
Aussie farmers lost more than $1.2 million to tractor scammers between January and August, prompting fresh warnings about online safety.
According to the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission, the most reported categories were classifed scams and online shopping scams, with most reports relating to fake online sales for tractors and heavy machinery.
NSW Farmers Rural Affairs Committee chair Deb Charlton said farmers and small businesses lost more than $1.5 million to scammers targeting agriculture last year, and that fgure could increase for 2022.
“This is a really stressful time for farmers with the terrible weather, high input costs and supermarkets trying to keep prices low, so to lose money to a scammer is just unthinkable,” Mrs Charlton said.
“We don’t know the full impact of scams because a third of victims don’t ever report it, but of the 292 reports of agriculture scams from January to August, 219 involved tractors or machinery.
Mrs Charlton said with online safety in the headlines, it was critical for farmers to protect themselves and their businesses.
“If it’s too cheap it’s probably too good to be true, so always do your research and take your time if you’re buying online,” she said.
“We’ve also heard about fake invoice scams costing farmers more than $320,000 this year, so make sure you double check details even on invoices you’re expecting.
MEAT STANDARDS AUSTRALIA DELIVERS ANOTHER RECORD YEAR FOR PRODUCERS
Australia’s world-leading eating quality grading program, Meat Standards Australia (MSA), continues to deliver signifcant benefts and value to the red meat industry, from the farm gate through to the consumer’s plate, according to Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA).
In fnancial year 2021–2022, the MSA program delivered a record $204 million in estimated additional farm gate returns to MSA beef producers, a signifcant increase from the estimated $157m delivered in 2020–2021, and more than the previous record high of $198 million in 2018–2019.
MSA graded cattle continue to represent more than half of the national adult cattle slaughter at another record of 55% in 2021–2022, up from 53% in 2020–2021. More than 3.25 million cattle were MSA graded through 39 Australian beef processors in 2021–2022, with an equal highest national MSA compliance of 95.5%.
MSA Program Manager at MLA, Dr David Packer, said the latest MSA Annual Outcomes Report demonstrated the red meat and livestock industry’s growing commitment to eating quality and meeting consumer expectations.
“The record $204 million in estimated additional farm gate returns is a result of the year-on-year growth of the program, greater use and value extracted from MSA graded carcases which now underpins 193 beef and 22 sheep brands and improved on-farm performance towards better MSA outcomes.
“While there was a slight decrease in the number of cattle graded in the previous fnancial year, it refects an overall reduction in slaughter numbers as producers take advantage of generally favourable seasonal conditions across many production regions to rebuild herds,” Dr Packer said.
Over the past year, more producers across the country became MSA registered. In total, 2,157 cattle and sheep producers became MSA registered in 2021–2022, taking the total number of registered MSA producers to 47,188. To aid in improving on-farm performance, 2,502 producers used the myMSA feedback system to understand grading results and look for opportunities to improve, as well as 1,425 participating in MSA education activities.
Steps continue to be taken towards the commercialisation and rollout of a MSA cutsbased sheepmeat model in the past year.
“Working with supply chains across Australia, MSA continued carrying out benchmarking activities to understand the range in eating quality of the commercial fock through these supply chains.
“This has helped to deliver the value proposition of the MSA sheepmeat cuts-based model, which will ultimately allow for processors and brand owners to apply sophisticated eating quality segregation within their supply chains.
“The aim is to commercialise the model in the 2022-2023 fnancial year,” Dr Packer said.
In 2021–2022, more than 2.1 million sheep followed MSA Pathways through 15 MSA-licenced processing facilities across New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia. This represented 10% of the total lambs processed in Australia and of these, 84% were trademarked MSA.
Throughout 2021–22, 469 audits were conducted on MSA licensees from saleyards and processors, through to retailers, wholesalers, independent boning rooms, supermarkets and foodservice outlets.
In addition, MSA also conducted over 100 integrity checks with MSA-licenced processors to support their continued success in utilising the MSA Standards.
“Overall, these results indicate that the MSA program continues to grow and plays an essential role in the Australian red meat industry’s goal to double the value Australian meat sales by 2030,” Dr Packer said.

LEADING THE WAY ON FOOD SECURITY
Tackling the critical global food security situation was a key focus of the Joint G20 Finance and Agriculture Ministers’ meeting.
Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Murray Watt represented Australia at the virtual meeting with Ministers from the largest world economies and supported calls for the G20 to strengthen cooperation to deal with a range of issues causing global food insecurity.
Minister Watt said high commodity prices driven by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, extreme weather events such as drought reducing global supplies of staple food commodities, and global supply chain disruptions were all impacting food supply.
“The best global response to curtail food price increases is maintaining open, transparent and predictable agricultural trade,” Minister Watt said.
“Along with open trade, agricultural innovation is a key element to improve food security.
“To achieve our zero hunger goal, average global agricultural productivity needs to increase by 28% over the next decade.
“This is triple the increase achieved over the past decade.
Minister Watt said Australia was committed to playing its part in addressing global food security needs.
“Diversifcation of food supply through open markets and adhering to rules-based trade are key to helping countries absorb shocks and remain resilient.
“Avoiding trade barriers, such as restrictions on the exports of food and fertilisers will also help improve food security.
“In 2021-22, Australia provided more than $157 million to the World Food Programme (WFP), which includes $10 million to support its response to Ukraine’s crisis,” Minister Watt said.
“Australia continues to fund humanitarian organisations, including the WFP which is central to our capability to respond to ongoing food security challenges.” Australia’s cattle graziers will have an extra line of defence against costly disease, following today’s launch of Australia’s frst ever National Lumpy Skin Disease Action Plan.
Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a signifcant disease threat to Australian’s livestock industry, causing signifcant milk production losses and skin sores in cattle and water buffalo, and can be spread through mosquitoes, fies and ticks.
The cost of an incursion would see severe economic losses to Australian farmers and our meat processing sector.
Since 2019, the disease has spread through China, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia. In March 2022 it was offcially reported by Indonesia on the island of Sumatra.
Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Murray Watt said given the recent spread of LSD in the region, we owe it to Australia’s cattle and buffalo industries to be increasingly vigilant.
“It’s important to remember that Australia has never experienced an outbreak of lumpy skin disease (LSD), and remains free from this disease,” Minister Watt said.
“But Northern Australia’s proximity to newly-affected countries means we need to take the threat seriously, especially given the risk of infected mosquitoes being blown in by cyclonic winds.
“If wild buffalo populations and cattle in Northern Australia’s extensive rangelands were exposed to LSD, reservoirs of the virus could establish. If this were to occur, eradication would be extremely diffcult.
“This new national plan will strengthen Australia’s ability to prevent, detect, prepare for and respond to any incursion.
The plan, developed through extensive engagement with government, industry and other stakeholders, sets out national priorities for actions to strengthen Australia’s LSD biosecurity; preparedness, including market access; response and recovery. It outlines what systems need to be strengthened or established to support Australia’s cattle industries and effectively manage the risk of LSD.
It builds upon ongoing work between the Australian and Indonesian governments to assist with their current disease eradication efforts for both LSD and foot-andmouth disease. This includes the provision of resources such as vaccines and sending experts to assist on the ground in Indonesia.

NSW Farmers says ‘no’ to Methane Pledge
The state’s peak agricultural advocacy body says it is opposed to Australia signing up to a global ‘methane pledge’ that is killing small towns across the ditch.
According to the Federated Farmers of New Zealand, “lies, damned lies and statistics”have driven a plan to reduce onfarm greenhouse gas emissions that would see agricultural communities killed off in the name of climate change. It claimed it was the equivalent of destroying the entire New Zealand wine industry and half the seafood industry.
NSW Farmers CEO Pete Arkle said while the federal government had been quick to promise no tax on farmers if it signed up to the Methane Pledge, the experience of New Zealand’s farmers proved talk was cheap.
“Farmers produce the food we eat and fbre to make the clothes we wear, yet we are constantly being painted as the ‘bad guy’ on climate change,” Mr Arkle said.
“Our sector is highly exposed to any change in climate – you only need to look at the weather we’ve seen this year – and we are prepared to do our part, but at the moment there’s not much we can do on methane reduction but reduce the national herd.
While there were promising trials and pieces of research being conducted to help reduce how much methane livestock produced, Mr Arkle said Australia was a long way from having a commerciallyavailable ‘low methane’ option for stock feed. He pointed out the agricultural sector had already reduced emissions by more than 30 per cent, and was also removing carbon from the atmosphere by converting it into plants – something the heavy polluters were not doing.
“Rather than sign us up to a pledge that is all about international appearance, we need environment and farming working together to achieve these goals,” Mr Arkle said.
“If, however, we are simply expected to cut production then farmers will remain deeply opposed to this sort of policy that pits feeding the planet against saving the planet.
NEW REPORT HIGHLIGHTS ENERGY POLICY SOLUTIONS TO BENEFIT FARMERS, REDUCE COST OF LIVING
As the renewable energy wave rolls across regional Australia, Farmers for Climate Action has released a new report, Farm Powered: Opportunities for regional communities in the renewable energy boom.
The report calls on the new federal government to support solutions that beneft regional farming communities while at the same time reducing emissions.
The report’s recommendations include: • A national climate change and agriculture policy that delivers on-farm renewables and subsidised batteries • The introduction of renewable energy incentives for farmers to increase rapid uptake on farms and reduce input costs • State and federal governments to provide a mechanism for annual rent to be paid to farmers for transmission lines, and better benefts for communities Australia is looking to build almost 135GW of renewable energy and more than 10,000kms of transmission lines by 2030 to meet our emissions reduction targets. * Farmers for Climate Action CEO Dr Fiona Davis said: “The roll out of renewable energy across Australia can be a massive positive for farming and regional communities.”
“Though critical to renewable energy’s success, current energy regulations, and policies have not suffciently engaged nor accounted for farmers or regional communities. We need a plan to make sure farmers and farming communities can beneft from the roll-out of renewable energy at all levels; the future of Australia’s renewable energy and farms depends on it.
The report also recommends allocating funding to establish a research and knowledge sharing program on agrivoltaics - the integration of solar panels with agriculture - to boost farm proftability and show communities that agriculture and energy production can co-exist. “Farmers have the space for small and large renewable energy projects paired with on-farm storage, which would become viable if there were a subsidy available. “Reducing farmers’ costs can reduce the cost of food on the supermarket shelves and reduce cost of living for everyday Australians,” Dr Davis said.
MORE than 50 key stakeholders from across the Australian sheep and wool industry met in Melbourne on Wednesday for the inaugural meeting of the Sheep Sustainability Framework (SSF) Consultative Committee.
The meeting included a blend of producers and representatives of Sheep Producers Australia, WoolProducers Australia, Meat & Livestock Australia, Australian Wool Innovation, state farming organisations, Animal Health Australia and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (trade and market access, traceability), as well as businesses in the processing, fnance and retail sectors including AWEX, Endeavour Wool Exports, Thomas Foods International, Gundagai Meats, Australian Lamb Company, Coles, NAB and Rabobank.
SSF Sustainability Steering Group Chair, Dr Scott Williams, said the Consultative Committee meeting provided an important forum to share the latest developments of the Framework, seek feedback from industry and collect valuable insights to inform future priorities and improvement.
“The SSF was launched in early 2021 as the frst sustainability framework for the sheep and wool industries in the world, and this is an important milestone in its evolution and our work towards better understanding opportunities, challenges and impacts in key areas such as environmental health, animal care, economic resilience, and people and communities,” Dr Williams said.
The meeting also included presentations from subject matter experts about new foundational Framework data, including: • Visualisation of vegetative cover for sheep grazing regions – Phil Tickle, Managing Director, Cibo Labs • Determination of emissions intensity of sheepmeat and wool using Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) – Dr Steve Wiedemann, Managing Director, Integrity Ag and Environment • Frameworks, disclosures, and standards: what does this mean for agriculture – Dr Robyn Leeson, Principal, STR Consulting and Vice Chair of the Global Reporting Initiative Global Sustainability Standards Board • SSF On-Farm Insights Report – Sarah Hyland, Meat & Livestock Australia.
“These presentations delivered valuable insights into how industry is tracking, including the frst On-Farm Insights Report which presents relevant data from the recently completed National Producer Survey and provides important benchmarking data for the SSF,” Dr Williams said.
“It enables the Australian sheep and wool industry to understand where we are currently sitting in terms of sustainability on-farm and will allow industry to track progress in the adoption of key sustainability measures”.

NSW GOVERNMENT RULES OUT METHANE TAX ON AGRICULTURE
The NSW Government today promised to support – not tax – farmers to reduce emissions and grow their businesses, ruling out imposing a methane tax on agriculture.
Deputy Premier Paul Toole said a proposal by the New Zealand Government to tax farmers for agriculture emissions from 2025 would only drive up farmers’ costs without giving them the necessary support to genuinely reduce emissions.
“We have a clear policy to partner with farmers to improve their productivity while reducing emissions – New Zealand Labour’s policy is the complete opposite, and has raised fears it will shrink their livestock industry and drive up the cost of food,” Mr Toole said.
“Our Government has worked hard to shift the emphasis from regulation to incentivebased outcomes, putting us on track to halve our emissions while attracting up to $37 billion in private investment by 2030.
Minister for Agriculture Dugald Saunders said the NSW Government is already working with the agriculture industry to reduce emissions in a way that doesn’t involve a great big new tax – and instead rewards farmers for actions that help drive down emissions.
“The NSW Government has introduced a range of measures to assist farmers to tackle climate change, as we head towards our target of net zero by 2050,” Mr Saunders said.
“We have the Primary Industries and Productivity Abatement Program, Biodiversity Credits Supply Fund and we are working on a range of new programs through our Natural Capital program.
“We are also collaborating with Angus Australia, the University of New England and Meat and Livestock Australia on a $19 million research project that aims to identify cattle that have a low methane output through breeding values.
Angus Australia CEO Scott Wright said the announcement was welcome news for NSW beef producers.
“Additional taxes on beef producers are not a solution to the problem,” Mr Wright said.

REGIONAL CITIES NSW BACKS MOVE TO INCREASE PORT COMPETITIVENESS FOR REGIONAL PRODUCERS
RCNSW Deputy Chair and Mayor of Tamworth Cr Russell Webb Regional Cities New South Wales (RCNSW) has today welcomed news that the New South Wales (NSW) Parliament will debate the removal of the existing penalties applied to the Port of Newcastle in a bid to make exporting from regional NSW more competitive.
RCNSW Deputy Chair and Mayor of Tamworth Cr Russell Webb said it was the regional alliance’s position that the state’s export capabilities should be increased with more competitive arrangements available for producers accessing international markets.
“RCNSW believes that the Port of Newcastle should be developed as a priority port for regional New South Wales and the current compensation arrangements removed so that regional businesses can operate on a fair playing feld” Deputy Chair of RCNSW and Mayor of Tamworth Cr Russell Webb said. “Regional New South Wales is the engine room of our state’s economy, but to be competitive we need to have cost-effective and effcient supply chains” Cr Webb explained. RCNSW has called for the development of the Port of Newcastle as the strategic solution for regional New South Wales, particularly given the ongoing issues with congestion, reliability, access and interaction with the passenger rail network that continue to plague Port Botany’s current capacity and Port Kembla’s future capacity. “The time to act on this issue is now - investment in the Port of Newcastle offers a strategic opportunity to help coal communities transition to new industries, boost regional New South Wales’ export capabilities and to grow regional economies” Cr Webb concluded.
