Beef farming is complex and demanding, requiring knowledge of genetics, nutrition, animal care, pasture production and a never-ending supply of optimism. So what does beef sustainability look like? Put simply, it’s about ensuring the long-term viability of beef as a safe and nutritious food by caring for the people, animals and environmental impacts throughout the beef value chain. That means using less water and land, and creating fewer GHG emissions and less waste, for the same amount and quality of beef.
