This booklet outlines the main ways that Government-industry partnerships are continuing to ensure that the Australian agriculture sector remains strongly competitive and sustainable in the face of a changing climate. Australian farmers are renowned for their commitment to sustainable natural resource management. Reducing the impacts of climate change depends on reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, and agriculture can play an important role. Greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture and land management represent the loss of valuable resources from the production base. Cost-effective actions to reduce emissions therefore provide opportunities for capturing productivity and financial gains, as well as delivering broad-based environmental benefits.
