Australia's cattle producers have been warned by a former industry leader that beef is "emerging as agriculture's coal equivalent".A former industry leader has warned the beef industry its social licence may be under threatTwo Queensland cattle families agree transparency is key, but have conflicting strategies
"Animal welfare is certainly on the agenda, climate change, water, labour, biosecurity, foreign investment rules, chemical use, GMOs, gene editing, ... tree clearing, the environment ... I could go on and on and on," she said. Ms Penfold ran the the Australian Livestock Exporters' Council between 2012 and 2016, and saw first-hand the devastating impact on producers when the industry lost community and Government support.
Central Queensland beef producer Melinee Leather said the creation of a Beef Sustainability Framework in 2017 showed the industry was being proactive.The framework was set up in recognition that consumers want more information about where their food comes from and how it is produced."It's not just telling a story, it's backing that story up with verifiable data and evidence," Ms Leather said.
BAN live export - problems solved!
PLEASE!!
I love a good steak.
Sounds bit far fetched to me, you claim that people who work in jobs or industries are not deserving of the same considerations others. Well done ABC for paying yourself a good salary and taking the perks so you can make your audience feel good about themselves.
Look at that beautiful beef quality. Special indeed.
...if people haven’t twigged to it yet, the green agenda is to have a carbon neutral world full of vegans, no power, no travel, no meat, no fun. Boring shit for the benefit of future generations, why live at all?
Sounds about right. Cattle are worse if you look at biodiversity.
Population growth & GDP growth should also be addressed. The massively increased beef consumption over the last 50 years is 54% due to population growth - the rest due to per capita GDP growth.
What, beef will provide AUS w/ baseload energy security?
There is a thing called food chain.
What loads of shit they whine now.
Yes2Meat 🥩 No to baseless woke dribble from the tax payer funded public broadcaster 🙄
Seaweed feed reduces animal CO2
Belt them
Yeah but coal is still the main coal, as far as coals go hey.
Not a thing
Not beef in the photo btw.
Cause cows are really useful if not for milk and burgers. Lol
Peak ABC
I find that if you cook the beef at a lower temperature it creates less smoke, hence less carbon emissions 😃. No need to thank me. Bon appetite.
China expects Australia to beg !
Human brain needs good nutrition & protein. That's why we aim for three meals a day, unlike e.g. canines. Vegans take notice & prevent your brains from shrinking too fast 🤗
Why don't the climate activists eat coal then?
Greed. The root of all problems in modern society. Enough is never enough which leads to over consumption of everything and puts a strain on the planet. The end.
Wonder why the 'have nothings do nothings' get to have so much influence on the simple minded general population
And this happened in India i am assuming ?
Stop beef shaming me.
there is no substitute for the real beef The burnt fat is the flavor that synthetic meat can not match
Climate Cult logic
Yes, good. It would be better for us all if we ate less beef.
It appears that basket weaving will become Australia’s future replacing all the lost jobs and revenue.
I have always wondered why animals were still exported live by ship. With all the aircraft sitting around, couldn't some be converted to freighters to ship the animals within 24 hours to anywhere?
Socialists again eroding people’s freedoms.. how new
Something that is rarely, if at all, discussed is the growing belief that the consumption of red meat and digestive tract cancers are linked.
If we didn't eat the animals, we would not be in a pandemic. It's not that it's just as bad as coal for the environment, it is definitely bad for the soul.
F-off you dirty hippies and your ABC enablers. I don't want to live in your vision of a new world where meat is manufactured.
something... something... steak from my cold dead hand
More good news for Australian consumers as beef prices predicted to fall on supermarket shelves.
