Agricultural sustainability continues to be a hot topic, with the Government, the corporate sector, conservation groups and local farmers taking our country’s environmental footprint more and more seriously.

From the Government’s $8.5m budget investment in reducing and mitigating agricultural emissions plus $25 million into the Agricultural Climate Change Research Platform , to Ballance’s Farm Sustainability Scheme and a range of sustainability and young farmer awards – we’re moving in a positive direction.

By working together, there’s hope we’ll reduce our environmental impact dramatically over the next few decades. In the meantime, let’s celebrate the progress we’re making – and the people behind that progress.
