Summary
The sustainable production of sheep meat and wool is important for gaining access to local and global markets. The Sheep Producers Australia and Wool Producers Australia are leading a Framework to measure and monitor the industry's performance in animal care, the environment, economic resilience, and people and community. The goal is to demonstrate that Australia is a global leader in sustainable sheep production and ensure continued market access. The Framework does not set policies, goals, or targets, but focuses on on-farm, transport, saleyards, and Australian processors, with plans to extend to the overseas wool processing sector in the future.
