Environmental Sustainability

In this lesson, students will be introduced to the Australian dairy industry, gaining an insight into farming practices, the milk supply chain, and the environmental sustainability issues that the industry currently faces. They will compare and contrast the environmental principles outlined in the Australian Agricultural Sustainability Framework (AASF) with the Australian dairy industry’s Sustainability Goals. Students will be challenged to think creatively to plan, design, and create an advertising campaign that aims to showcase the strategies being used to meet and achieve these goals by 2030.
