Farm Transition Hub
Inaction will only perpetuate a broken system—one that is failing farmers, animals, and the planet.
The need for a transformative shift away from animal agriculture has never been more critical. As the world's demand for animal products continues to rise, so do the devastating impacts on the environment, animal welfare, and human health. Animal farming is responsible for a significant portion of global greenhouse gas emissions, is the primary driver of biodiversity loss, depletes ecosystems, and places immense strain on natural resources.
In the coming decade, the Australian dairy and livestock industries will face a storm of complex challenges driven by climate change. Rising temperatures, frequent droughts and floods, and water scarcity will intensify pressure on production systems, animal welfare and natural resources. At the same time, the growing need to cut carbon and methane emissions, combined with advancements in alternative proteins and precision food technologies, is reshaping agriculture. These forces will place significant financial strain on farmers, undermine their mental well-being, worsen animal welfare issues, and further damage the environment.
Despite overwhelming scientific evidence urging a shift toward a plant-focused food system for the sake of planetary and human well-being, policy change has been slow, and time is running out. Inaction will only perpetuate a broken system that is failing farmers, animals, and the planet.
Reducing meat and dairy consumption is just part of the solution. We must ensure a just transition for farmers and support and guide them toward sustainable alternatives. Many farmers are open to change but often lack the time, resources, and confidence to explore more sustainable options.
