The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has come up with a terrific idea -
The World Wildlife Fund has revealed plans to accredit beef and set up supply agreements so consumers can choose ‘greener’ products.
WWF Australia’s Nick Heath says his group is targeting the world’s largest beef producing nations.
WWF offices in the United States, Brazil and Australia are working hard to try and bring together a world-wide initiative to accredit beef, but it’s early days,” he says
That’s the same Nick Heath and the same WWF that has coerced the QLD Labor government into banning the clearing of regrowth on a million hectares of Prime grazing land.
The same person and group that actually wants the government to expand that ban to cover 22 million hectares of prime QLD grazing land. The same person and organization that is behind the onerous new regulation of farmers in the barrier reef catchment.
Australian cattle producers can be sure of one thing, the only outcome of a WWF sponsored accreditation will be less cattle and less cattle producers.
Now it would have been a terrific idea if perhaps Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) had of thought of it first and been able to have it implemented on beef producers own terms. But hey when you only have a bit over a $100 million a year in producer levies to fund your operation you can’t be expect them to think of everything.
WWF accrediting beef producers, that would be the foxes in charge of the hen house.
