Product Description
How well Australian agriculture is meeting the principles of ecologically sustainable development, including the balance between economic, environmental and social needs, is an important issue for the nation.
This report discusses indicators that give an assessment of how sustainable Australian agriculture is. It comments on what we are achieving and what work has to be done.
The sustainability indicators contained in the report are: long-term real net farm income; natural resource condition; off-site environmental impacts; managerial skills; and socio-economic impacts.
The work covers how these indicators are measured and how we might assess sustainability in the future.This important report is essential reading for people concerned about the future of agriculture in Australia.
