Low emissions pathways for Queensland agrifood
This report, commissioned by Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, identifies coordinated policy, research and development, and industry action to progress tenable options and catalyse new pathways of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction for Queensland agrifood.
The report is written and actions are identified for government and industry bodies. It is not a report designed as extension for producers and farmers, but identifies the criticality of the existing material from trusted voices such as farmers’ federations and industry advocacy groups that can be extended to provide comprehensive sources of information for those on the ground to access.
The activities outlined in this report were derived from simultaneously convened government, industry, and civil society groups in a series of online forums, in addition to more traditional literature review processes. This increases the chance of these impeding issues being exposed and supportive actions for industry and government being identified. A governance process involving members from academia, government, and industry was engaged and consulted at all stages. Views expressed by community and industry advocacy groups are reported, and while they may be contested, they represent views that must be negotiated to achieve support for the low emissions transition.
