  1. The need for better standards in the Australian livestock industry

    "In the European Union... all member countries follow the same regulations for animal transport. European rules generally allow shorter journey times and require animals on long trips to be fed and watered during transport.
    Reforms along these lines should be implemented in Australia. The standards and guidelines should be enforced regularly and in the same ways across all Australian states."

    "All stakeholders involved in the cattle and sheep production chain should also be trained on low stress handling, being able to recognise stress and fear in animals, and educated on the minimal welfare standards."

    "High-profile incidents, such as the truck fire in northern New South Wales, can also damage public trust in the livestock industry and weaken its “social licence” to operate." >>

  6. "Of the approximately US$540 billion (£400 billion) annual subsidies to agriculture, the largest recipients are beef and milk producers. Many subsidies provide support to buy pesticides and fertilisers.

    Imagine if such funds were redirected to food production for human need and planetary health?"

  7. 2/ Risk Factors and Headwinds in US Agriculture - a report I generated for Green Econometrics, a consulting firm I co-founded. We’ll be publishing this on our Substack but I thought I’d provide my followers who are interested an advanced copy to preview and perhaps discuss. This is targeted to those with an interest in #Agriculture #farming #farms #farmers #cattle and #FoodProduction.

    NOTE: My firm has integrated Claude 4.7 into our practice to support directed research, to create charts & graphs, and to format output. Content design, development and editorial direction by humans with full audits for accuracy. If you hate AI, don’t come at me. I too think it needs regulation & guardrails. I’m aware of the environmental costs. I’m lobbying my reps for all of the above. Truth is, tho, it is a powerful tool & offers users considerable support that firms like mine can’t ignore - if we want to stay competitive.

    Note 2: Google Doc format - don’t hate on me, I’m looking to transition.

  29. Sama Hoole: "From the Tudor period until the coming of the railways in the mid-nineteenth century, Britain was crossed by a network of footpaths along which cattle walked, in their hundreds of thousands, from the upland pastures of Wales, Scotland, and northern England to the markets of London and the Midlands. These were the drovers' roads." | nitter
