Module 5 Protect Your Farm’s Natural Assets

Introduction

Healthy, resilient natural assets including soil, water and vegetation underpin livestock production, increase the capital value and profitability of your enterprise, and add immeasurably to the comfort, satisfaction and temperament of all who live or work there.

A beautiful, well managed property can be a source of pride for its owners and an inspiration for neighbours and visitors.

Many sheep producers are showing how compatible boosting farm profit is with better management of the farm’s natural resources.

A well-managed property can help store organic carbon in grasses, shrubs, trees and soil, to offset carbon released as the greenhouse gas, methane, by ruminants like sheep.

This module builds on the principle of multiple benefits and that long-term profitability and sustainability go hand-in-hand.

Implementing the procedures in this module will help you build the capital value and profitability of your sheep enterprise and keep your natural assets functioning effectively now and into the future.
