Feedlot environment training module

Summary

The Australian Lot Feeders' Association (ALFA) negotiated with the Queensland Government for the industry's quality assurance program, the National Feedlot Accreditation Scheme (NFAS), to become eligible to access the 20% licence fee discount under the Environmental Protection regulation. In order to access this discount, one person from each accredited feedlot must complete training that provides them with an appropriate understanding of environmental risks and consequences in relation to the day to day operation of feedlots.

This project generated the course note documentation, a presenter's package, plus the education and assessment materials required to deliver the training necessary to equip feedlot personnel and quality assurance officers to achieve competency and certification in feedlot environmental risk reduction management.
