Low Emissions Pathways for Queensland Agrifood

Working with the Queensland Government, our Towards Net Zero Mission developed the Low Emissions Pathways for Queensland Agrifood report.

The report sets out a roadmap of emission reduction options for Queensland’s $23 billion agribusiness and food sector, providing sustainable food for an increasing world population while using low emissions technologies that make Australia’s fresh produce more unique, more valued and more sought after by a new generation of global consumers.

Mr Salvo Vitelli, General Manager, Agriculture Policy, Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, said:

“Agriculture and its supply chains will play a critical role in Queensland’s decarbonisation. CSIRO has provided independent analysis to guide our vision and policy response for the sector, as evidenced in the draft Low Emissions Agriculture Roadmap released for public consultation in June. The Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries looks forward to continuing to work with the Towards Net Zero Mission and other key research programs to ensure the agribusiness sector capitalises on low emissions economic opportunities.”

The report informed the Queensland Government’s Low Emission Agriculture Roadmap 2022-2032, which was released in March 2023.
