RD&E project

Undertaking a life cycle assessment of the livestock export supply chain

Summary

This project will focus on updating the livestock export industry's life cycle assessment, specifically examining carbon emissions and greenhouse gases.

With an increasing focus on carbon from the community, trading partners and government, the livestock export sector, this project will enable the industry to understand and effectively communicate its credentials in the carbon and greenhouse gases space, particularly to banks, other institutions and government. It will also enable the industry to plan for future activities and promote any improvements made in the last decade.

This project is being conducted through the Livestock Export RD&E Program (LEP), a collaboration between LiveCorp and Meat & Livestock Australia.
