WATER USAGE

Water is a key commodity for farmers the world over, and it is even more important in a warm country like Australia.

Over the past three decades, the Australian red meat industry has reduced water usage across the board, including a 65% reduction in water usage in beef production.

The majority of water used in the red meat industry comes from ‘blue water’ sources such as dams, rivers, bores and creek, which otherwise may not be available for human consumption.
