Joint initiative
The Reducing Emissions from Livestock Research Program is a joint initiative by Meat & Livestock Australia and the Federal Government’s Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.

Julia Gaglia, from the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, said: “The Australian Government is working with researchers, industry and farmers to ensure that science addresses the effects of a changing climate in a way that will help land managers improve their management practices and remain profitable and sustainable.”
