Sustainability hub

The Australian red meat and livestock industry prides itself as being among the world's best in sustainability of our environment, our livestock, our people and businesses and our climate.

Sustainability goes hand in hand with productivity, profitability and industry longevity. It sits squarely with our Red Meat 2030 strategy to be the leading and most-trusted source of red meat and livestock to the world and our industry's priority to contribute to Australia's net zero ambition.

Sustainability videos

MLA’s sustainability producer-led videos capture the innovation, tools and practice change our livestock producers and the value chain are applying to their businesses to improve their profitability and sustainability.

The long form videos capture the practical ways producers and  the value chain are refocussing their organisations around animal husbandry and welfare, natural capital and biodiversity and carbon neutrality to support their businesses and climate resilience.

The short form videos share with our consumers and the community the stories of sustainability and provenance of Australian red meat and how our producers are caring for their animals, their land and the environment and are part of the climate solution.
