Meet the Australian farmers making a positive difference to the environment

Australian farmers are adopting a range of sustainability initiatives to reduce emissions and help the planet.

From investing in renewable energy to planting trees in the interests of environmental restoration, producers all around the country are making positive difference to the planet. This is how they’re doing it….

The relationship between cattle and the environment

Cattle farmer Cam Griffin explains how cattle and landscapes have coexisted for centuries, forming a natural cycle that fuels both. Through the interaction of cattle manure, saliva, and urine, the land receives essential nutrients, while the action of cattle hooves breaks up the soil, preparing it for rainfall.
