New report highlights Australia’s world-class beef industry
AgForce has welcomed the latest report from the Australian Beef Sustainability Framework (ABSF), which shines the spotlight on a beef industry “at the top of its game.”
The 2021 update reveals that the Australian cattle industry is a world leader when it comes to sustainable vegetation management – an achievement that producers, consumers, and investors can all be proud of.
With net zero deforestation over the past decade as a result of effective management practices, and many producers managing vegetation and supporting grassland and forest habitat, Australia’s forest and grazing footprint continues to be well balanced with sensitive environmental areas protected.

A peak body representing Queensland’s farmers and graziers, AgForce, will host a series of important sessions at Beef Australia 2021 in May.
Session topics will include reef regulations, natural capital, native title, and land valuation.
AgForce CEO Michael Guerin said AgForce was thrilled to once again be heading to one of the world’s great beef cattle events, with close to 100,000 people expected to attend Australia’s national week-long beef expo.
“Queensland produces almost half of Australia’s beef and ‘Beef Week’ provides an opportunity to celebrate our local industry, facilitate new export and trade opportunities, and learn more about the latest research, developments, and trends throughout the world,” Mr Guerin said.
