Understanding Feedlot Emissions - Feedlot Carbon Fundamentals (Module 1/2)

The Australian red meat and livestock industry has made a commitment under their 2030 strategic plan to contribute to Australia’s net zero ambitions. Under the plan, MLA will accelerate investment in practical, science-based solutions that help producers’ lower emissions and improve productivity.

Feedlots have an important role to play in achieving this goal. Because feedlots operate in highly managed and controlled production environments, they provide strong opportunities to measure emissions accurately, trial new technologies, and improve operational and supply chain efficiency.

Under ALFA’s strategic plan, the feedlot sector has an active commitment to environmental stewardship and supports the wider industry initiatives of contributing to Australia’s net zero ambitions while advancing profitability, productivity and sustainability.

MLA’s Environmental Credentials Initiative will give lot feeders digital tools, like eLearning, calculators and checklists, to track sustainability practices.

This course will help you understand how feedlots contribute to lower emissions production contributing to national and state goals and what practical actions can be taken at the operational level.
