Sustainable pathways to CN30

The investment goal is to use design-led thinking and interactive workshops to provide producers with the understanding of regionally-specific GHG emissions mitigation practices required to achieve production-led environmental outcomes. This investment addresses the lack of understanding of how GHG emissions mitigation practises affect production-led environmental outcomes, including effects of grazing on natural capital and biodiversity, which is a barrier to adoption of regionally specific management options that enable key grazing regions to contribute to CN30. MLA should invest in this project because the outcomes will (i) enable income diversification through environmental stewardship, (ii) improve adoption of practices leading to CN30 and (iii) continue progress towards CN30 for the sheepmeat and grassfed beef sectors.

Implantable RFID for cattle - Commercial Supply Chain trials

Based on the positive results that come out of the limited field trials completed on implantable RFID devices, it was recommended that further supply chain trials were undertaken to expand on this work to address the remaining adoption barriers for an implantable RFID device.
