Tribune’s note

Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Julie Collins launched the $3 million Green Sheep Project at Agfest in Tasmania, committing three years of targeted funding to help sheep producers measure and manage environmental sustainability on-farm. The project is led by Sheep Producers Australia and will operate through NRM and Landcare partners across four states, combining natural capital tracking with practical grazing and pasture management tools.

The announcement reinforces the portfolio's pattern of using industry-partnership programmes to build climate resilience and protect Australia's trade competitiveness in agricultural export markets.
