What does sustainable sheep production mean?

It means producing sheep meat and wool by current and future generations in an ethical and environmentally, socially, and financially responsible manner.

The Sheep Sustainability Framework is unique in that it is a food and fibre framework. It encompasses the value chain for Australian sheep meat and wool – from farm to fork and sheep to shelf.

Learn more about The Framework and the meaning of sustainable sheep meat and wool production from our Australian industry stakeholders and customers.

and through specific and extensive consultation with both industry
and external stakeholders.

The three stage consultation process

Led by the Sustainability Steering Group (SSG), the three-stage stakeholder consultation process began in January 2020 and was completed in December 2020.
