The Agriculture and Land Sector Plan establishes a framework for the sectors to contribute to Australia’s net zero target. The framework includes three strategic objectives to underpin agriculture and land’s contribution to net zero:
- Australian producers remain global leaders in low-emissions food and fibre production;
- support of diverse landscapes, balancing agricultural production, carbon storage and nature repair; and
- decarbonisation of agriculture and land must deliver real benefits for regional communities, producers and land managers, including First Nations peoples.
Four foundational areas for action will guide efforts and investment:
- Understand emissions at the enterprise and national level;
- support innovation to deliver commercially viable abatement options;
- strengthen on-ground action; and
- enhance land’s role in a net zero economy.
