Livestock: when premium traits become a social license to operate
3.00PM – 4.00PM (AEDT), Wed 2 March
This session will look at how, for some products, higher animal welfare, carbon neutrality and certain production inputs (or their absence) are tied to ideas of quality. Such products can earn a price premium. However, over time, societal expectations change. Minimum requirements can be driven not only by consumers, but by those completely removed from the supply chain. |
| With livestock prices breaking records through 2020-21 and strong prices for livestock commodities forecast to continue, how do producers position themselves to maintain social license over the coming decades?
Confirmed speakers include:
· Jonathan Wong from ABARES, who will set the scene with an overview of the livestock industry;
· Angus Gidley-Baird from Rabobank, and
· Dr Holly Ludeman from The Livestock Collective, who will provide a live export case study and discuss Australian community acceptance driving changes in trade.
