Producers flock to livestock forum

Charles Sturt’s Gulbali Institute of Agriculture, Water and Environment hosted an annual Livestock Forum on 30 July 2021. The forum featured new research for beef and sheep producers to apply on-farm, and a panel discussion with industry experts. Participants could be involved either in person or online.

The opening session brought together researchers, industry representatives and producers to discuss environmental sustainability, profit, and the path to carbon neutrality. Concurrent beef and sheep sessions gave a snapshot of new research from paddock to plate, and the final session focused on building resilient livestock systems. Hundreds of participants took part in the forum on the day. Sessions were also recorded and made available online for producers to access.
