Signposts for Australian Agriculture Stage 3a

Product Information

This stage of Signposts (Stage 3a) focuses on the creation of industry profiles of the horticulture, beef and dairy industries and aims to demonstrate the potential of Signposts as a provider of quick and reliable information for government and industry policy makers. This report documents the process behind the development of those profiles including consultation and reviews by the Australian National University and Australian Bureau of Statistics. Stage 3a builds upon the Grains Industry Profile developed by the Bureau of Rural Sciences in collaboration with the Grains Research and Development Corporation, the Grains Council of Australia and the National Land and Water Resources Audit.

This report should be read in conjunction with Signposts for Australian Agriculture Stage 3b: Industry Pilot Report by the Centre for International Economics which uses the Grains Industry Profile to conduct an analysis of the industry’s contributions to ecologically sustainable development.
