The Department publishes Australia’s National Greenhouse Accounts, which track national emissions from 1990 onwards. Australia's greenhouse gas emissions are estimated as a nation, by state and by industry.

The Australian pork industry only accounts for approx 0.4% of the national Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions which is significantly lower than other Australian livestock sectors such a beef (11.2%), sheep (3.4) and dairy (2.7%). Contains case studies.

The agriculture and food sector is not only a victim of climate change, it is also a major contributor to the acceleration of global warming.

A team of water experts has identified a correlation between widespread land clearing and a decline in rainfall in Western Australia's South West region.

The article examines the impact of pastures on climate change. It explores how mainstream pasture-management practices negatively affect pastureland and offers tips for sustainable livestock grazing. It notes that smart land management practices will lock carbon in the soil which reduces global warming.

The article discusses the study conducted by the University of Queensland related to the land clearing and climate change in south-eastern Australia. Dr. Clive McAlpine, Queensland Climate Change Centre of Excellence manager, observes that the change in the energy balance between the land surface and the atmosphere increases the temperature. Further, he mentions that the decreasing evapotranspiration and the sensible heat are the two energies involved in the rise of atmospheric temperature.

The research addresses key questions underpinning the development of sustainable production and consumption systems that are based on domestically produced agricultural and horticultural commodities in England and Wales. It quantifies the resource use and environmental burdens arising from the production of ten key commodities.
