Plantations and farm forestry present an opportunity to increase Australia’s long-term wood supply while contributing significant social, economic and environmental benefits to regional Australia. The links from this page will help you find out more about Australia's plantations and how to get involved in farm forestry. Show
PlantationsIncreasing the plantation timber resource to expand Australia's forest industries and offset the reduced access to native forest resource is a key forest policy objective of the National Fo rest Policy Statement, Regional Forest Agreements and National Forest Industries Plan. The overarching principle of the National Forest Industries Plan is to provide a vision for Australia's forestry industry and supports the sustainable forest industries as long-term growth engines for regional Australia. This is to be achieved through a notional target of the planting of a billion new plantations trees over the next decade. Plantations produce over 85% of the 32.9 million cubic metres of logs harvested in Australia on average each year. The majority of plantation logs are derived from softwood plantations (61%) compared to hardwood plantations (39%). Australia’s plantation processing industry comprises a number of large, internationally competitive companies. In recent years the plantation processing sector has invested heavily in the development of modern efficient sawmills, reconstituted and engineered wood production facilities and best practice pulp mills. Continued development of plantations is necessary to support further investment in the plantation processing sector. This investment will assist in developing new export and value-adding industries, and contribute to regional economic development. Plantations also offer important environmental benefits. Plantations, strategically placed in the landscape, are recognised for their importance for sustainable production and improved soil, water quality and salinity mitigation, carbon and biodiversity benefits. There is a substantial body of scientific and policy activity through major Australian Government programs that recognise, promote and evaluate the opportunities to achieve multiple objectives through revegetation and plantations. Key research in this area has been undertaken by the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) and Forest and Wood Products Australia. ABARES produces several publications on Australia's plantations which can be found on their publications webpage. Farm forestryFarm forestry means different things to different people. Essentially however, it is the incorporation of commercial tree growing into farming systems. It can take many forms, including timber belts, alleys and widespread tree plantings. Farm forestry can provide farmers with an alternative source of income. It can improve agricultural production by providing shelter for stock and crops and can provide substantial environmental benefits such as salinity control. Farmers now have more options for diversifying their income through farm forestry, such as capitalising on the demand for wood and wood products and the ability to participate in carbon markets. These changes are improving opportunities for farm forestry and increasing interest in combining tree growing and traditional farming activities. Farm Forestry: Growing TogetherThe Australian Government’s Farm Forestry: Growing Together Plan recognises the new opportunities and provides practical information and resources for farmers looking to invest in farm forestry. With our new plan we have responded to calls for more practical information and resources about farm forestry. We have also demonstrated how all levels of government can support farm forestry with measures that meet the needs of landholders. The plan outlines what the Australian Government has done to support farm forestry including:
The plan has been developed following consultation with industry, and the community. To find out more about our consultation process visit our Have Your Say website. Industry, including National Farmers Federation and forestry industries recognise that farm forestry can supplement existing agricultural activities, be an important part of our farming future and an important part of growing our wood resources. The new Farm Forestry: Growing Together Plan supports the previous Farm Forestry National Action Statement (NAS), which outlined the objectives and actions agreed by the Australian, state and territory governments and the forest and wood products industry to develop farm forestry. The NAS was endorsed by the Natural Resource Management and Primary Industries Ministerial Councils in August 2005. DownloadIf you have difficulty accessing this file, please visit web accessibility.

Which of the following best explains why the concept of the global system of agriculture is helpful to geographers? The concept helps geographers simplify and visualize a vast and complicated global supply chain. Environmental effects do influence the global food supply chain, but the concept is not related to the environmental effects of In 2017, the United States exported approximately $500 million of beef to Mexico, and Mexico exported approximately $500 million of beef to the United States. Which of the following best explains this international supply chain? United States and Mexican producers rely on each other's market to sell certain beef products. certain agricultural products may be preferred from certain origins, such as well-known specialty beef such as Kobe or Wagyu from Japan. United States exported approximately $500 million of beef to Mexico, and Mexico exported approximately $500 million of beef to the United States. This interdependence of commodity chains between the United States and Mexico exists because each country depends of the other's market to sell certain cuts of meat. Commercial agriculture in dry climates relies heavily on irrigation. Which of the following best explains an environmental concern that results from irrigation in arid regions? The soil will have increased salinity, leading to soil erosion and reduced nutrients in the soil for plant health. As the water evaporates in the arid climate, it leaves behind salts that build up over time and may lead to erosion and a decline in soil nutrients. Slash-and-burn cultivation is an agricultural practice used by subsistence farmers in tropical forest areas. Which of the following best explains an environmental effect of this practice? Air pollution and long-term land-cover change are side effects of slash-and-burn agriculture that have a long-ranging effect on a broader region.

Which of the following statements best explains fair trade agriculture as shown for the products on the map? A system where consumers in mostly more developed countries purchase goods from producers mainly in less developed countries, with the intent to reduce the disparity in income between different regions Most other sales flow is from products in the developing world to more developed countries. Guaranteeing a living wage, sufficient to pay the costs of production plus a small profit for farmers, is a belief of Fair trade agriculture The two images each show a different form of beef production. Which of the following statements explains a primary difference between the agricultural practices? Image 1 shows traditional beef production, which has regained popularity because of perceived environmental and ethical benefits compared to the beef production shown in Image 2. Consumers in developed countries have started to seek out traditionally grown pasture-raised or grass-fed beef and dairy products, even though they are less efficient to produce and more expensive at the market. Consumers in developed countries have started to seek out ______________________even though they are less efficient to produce and more expensive at the market. traditionally grown pasture-raised or grass-fed beef and dairy products, Consumers seek out beef raised according to more traditional methods based on perceptions that these traditional methods can allow for more ethical treatment of animals, as well as being more environmentally friendly. The two images show an agricultural transition that occurred in the twentieth century. Which of the following best explains how this transition helped meet a challenge of contemporary agriculture? The increased crop yield produced more food for a growing global urban and industrial population. Mechanization increased outputs to produce more food and meet the needs of the world's increasingly urbanized population. Using the data shown, which of the following best explains the spatial variations of rural women's roles in food production and food preparation? In less developed countries, females and males tend to participate equally in harvesting and preparation tasks. While males have gradually taken on more household responsibilities, including food preparation, in more developed countries, females still tend to be responsible for more food preparation. Which of the following best explains the differences between countries with higher and lower percentages of women working in agriculture? Countries with large percentages of female employment in agriculture tend to be mostly rural and are reliant on subsistence agriculture. The large amount of mechanized, commercial agriculture in the Western Hemisphere means fewer people work as farmers, but production meets and/or exceeds demand. Women in less developed countries are needed to work in Subsistence agriculture Which of the following explains a reason why education and employment rates for women are lower in less developed compared to more developed countries? Females take primary responsibility for harvesting and cooking food in less developed countries.

The mechanization of farming in the Second Agricultural Revolution resulted in more reliable crop harvests and healthier populations in areas where the mechanization was adopted. More reliable crop harvests were one of the significant byproducts of the mechanization of farmin More reliable crop harvests were one of the significant byproducts of the mechanization of farming, leading to healthier populations during the Second Agricultural Revolution. The mechanization of farming resulted in more reliable crop harvests and healthier populations. Which of the following is a characteristic of shifting cultivation? Multicropping Which of the following is an explanation for the similar impact of large-scale commercial agriculture in developed countries and plantation agriculture in developing countries? Both farming practices involve the consolidation of family farms and displacement of rural communities. It is difficult for small-scale family farmers to compete with large-scale commercial farms or plantations. Small-scale farmers often lose their land or sell it to large corporations or plantation owners, prompting small-scale farmers to relocate. The displacement of small scale farms impacts Rural communities including workers who supported family farms. Which of the following explains the role of commodity chains in the average size of farms? Commodity chains have led to changes in the spatial organization of agriculture from dispersed family farms to large corporate farms that produce, process, and distribute the products. The increase in the size of farms from small family farms to large corporate enterprises has resulted in changes to the spatial organization of agriculture the loss of the smaller farms leads to the loss of the supporting establishments in the agricultural towns, as corporate farms are part of extended commodity chains. Which of the following is a subsistence crop?

Transportation cost Nomadic pastoralism is an extensive agricultural system practiced Dry regions of Africa and Asia Which of the following best explains the diffusion of plants and animals from their hearths of domestication? Both domesticated plants and animals spread across the globe through contagious diffusion in early years by farmers and traders, and later by relocation diffusion through European exploration and colonialism. Early diffusion occurred throughout the regions of domestication where climate and physical landscape were similar but not exactly the same. Plants were able to adapt relatively _______ to different soil types through agricultural techniques used by early farmers. Quickly Domesticated plants and animals spread across the globe through contagious diffusion. Which of the following explains the diffusion and successful cultivation of many plants and animals in new regions of the world through the Columbian Exchange? The plants and animals diffused to a region with climate and geography similar to that of their point of domestication. During the Colombian exchange The plants and animals traveled great distances away from their hearths during their trade and exchange and were successful in their new regions owing to similarities in climate and geography. Which of the following spatial patterns is best explained by bid-rent theory?
