Roocke says environmental and welfare groups want to see more initiatives
where land holders are recognised for good work. The WWF and the RSPCA are
in Mitchell for the Australian Land Management Conference, and Amy Phillips
speaks with Melina Tensen from the RSPCA and Ian McConnell from the WWF.
Phillips asks Tensen if there is a place for ALMG's Certified Land Management
Standard. Tensen says it provides producers with animals to appeal to a consumer base looking for
humanely farmed food.

Young says over 50 people have gathered in Mitchell for the Australian Land
Management Group conference, and plays an interview with Dr Bradd Witt,
Researcher, University of Qld who says the urban concept of the country city
divide largely exists in peoples' minds, and better communication strategies are
needed to break stereotypes down. Witt says he surveyed Brisbane,
Toowoomba and Cairns to explore how people in the city were feeling about rural land management,
farming, farmers and other related issues. Witt says they found a large sense of support and concern
of urban people for those living in rural Australia, but people are genuinely concerned about issues
like the state of the environment, the nature of vegetation, water resources and sustainable land
management. Witt says if farming people want to communicate with the urban majority, they need to
understand what their fears and concerns may be, and the only way to move forward environmentally
and socially is for long-term relationships to be built between traditionally opposing camps.

WWF and the RSPCA, who are in Mitchell for the Australian Land Management
Group conference [ALMG], say they want to see more initiatives where
landholders become certified for good environmental and animal welfare
practices. ALMG has come up with a certification for good environmental
management and animal welfare management that landholders can subscribe
to. Ian McConnell, Project Officer for Sustainable Beef, WWF, praises ALMG's certification system at
some length. Melina Tensen, Scientific Officer, RSPCA, says ALMG's standard provides producers
with an incentive to appeal to a consumer base looking for humane farm food. Tensen says painful
practices like dehorning, spaying, castration, and branding are of great concern to the RSPCA.

Roock notes that landholders and dignitaries are meeting at Mitchell to discuss
recognising good farm practices. Jock Douglas, Australian Land Management
Group, speaks with Amy Phillips about launching an internationally recognised
property and animal welfare certification called CLM. Douglas says an
environmental animal welfare tag offers differentiation in the market. He says
international certification for their grass-fed beef would pull it through the final marker. He says they
will discuss the matter with the Cattle Council and landholders/

Hough says today there are about 50 landholders converging on Mitchell for a
conference on recognising good environmental and animal welfare practices on
farms. The Australian Land Management Group is a not for profit ornaisation that
was started in 2003 and grown to include property owners from across Australia
who were committed to environmentally sustainable practices. Tony Gleeson,
CEO, Australian Land Management Group. Gleeson says at Mitchell there are certified land
management people and they are mainly grazing and cropping people but particularly grazing. He
says some have changed their grazing management systems for better outcomes. he says this
means some form of time controlled grazing so each of the paddocks has a spell. He says this
applies differently on each different property. Gleeson says he is near the Qld boarder north of
Tenterfield and ALMG means grazing strategy and Lantana control which is a major weed problem.
Gleeson says ALMG is an internationally-based management system that allows continuous
improvement and ideally works with the catchment management authorities to improve outcomes. He
says there is no other system in Australia that works across Australia and across industries and gives
a credible verification of outcomes.

Around 50 landholders are converging on Mitchell for a conference on
recognising and animal welfare practices on the farm run by Australian Land
Management Group [ALMG], a not-for-profit organisation that started in 2003 to
commit property owners to environmentally sustainable practices. Tony Gleeson,
CEO, discusses the process by which land management is certified through
examples from around the Mitchell region. Gleeson says it involves time-controlled grazing and
mentions that his property is near Tenterfield, discussing the challenge of lantana weed control on his
property.

A meeting of primary producers have called on Australian farmers and critics to
stop bickering over animal welfare issues and find a solution. Stewart Taylor,
NAPCO says his cattle are herded calmly and without issue. The Australian
Land Management Group want to roll out a certification system to improve
animal and environmental management. Melina Tensen, RSPCA says they can
achieve a solution for farmers and animals. Ian McConnell, WWF says the industry needs to accept

Australian farmers and critics have been urged not to feud over animal welfare
and collaborate. Primary producers met at Mitchell, Qld. They say humane stock
handling is good for profits. No sticks or electricity are used by farmer Stuart
Taylor and his farm hand on 500 cattle. The Australian Land Management Group has celebrated its
10th birthday. Tony Gleeson is proud of the group but wants to expand a national certification system.
Marlena Tensen from the RSPCA says it is important to achieve a compromise which is good for all
interests. The Dr Bradd Witt from Uni of Qld examined the urban-rural divide after the Indonesian
cattle crisis. Ian McConnel from WWF says the beef industry must be viable to manage the land, but
the right way. Tensen says the RSPCA is not anti-farmer.

SPEAKERS at the Certified
Land Management muster
proved it was definitely
possible to look after the land
and care for animals without
it costing a fortune.
Australian Land
Management Group chief
executive Tony Gleeson said
the issue was ensuring the
money went to the right
programs.
“Over the five years to 2013
the Australian Government
spent $448 million through the
Caring for our Country
program to improve the
environmental outcomes of
42,000 farmers over 70 million
hectares,” Mr Gleeson said.
“10% of these funds would
have been sufficient to cover
the cost of half of these
landholders having
certification.”
Mr Gleeson said this was
not a lament over what had
passed but was more of guide
to what would happen over the
next five years.
“With Certified Land
Management we could

verification system for

Speaking at the Australian

annual conference in Mitchell
on Monday, Mr Crombie said
that by 2030, two-thirds of the
world’s middle class people
would live in Asia and
Australian farmers were
ideally placed to serve that
market.
“This must be our target,”
Mr Crombie said.
“But it is not just going to
happen – we must think and
plan to adapt to changing
customer demand.”
Mr Crombie said such a
change would not be easy.
“Everyone in the chain from
paddock to plate must be
accountable,” he said.
“There is no excuse for
tough beef.”
Mr Crombie said producers
needed to be more
transparent and this was
where the ALM Group’s
certification process would
help.
“We have consumers who
are prepared to pay a

reliable, safe and consistent,”
he said.

Call to support CLM plan
04 Mar, 2013 03:00 AM
PENELOPE ARTHUR QCL 28-02-2013
ALMG CEO Tony Gleeson spoke at the annual ALMG Muster in Mitchell.
THE Australian Land Management Group (ALMG) has called on the Federal Government to
support a national rollout of the internationally recognised Certified Land Management (CLM)
system to help improve environmental and animal welfare outcomes and farm profitability.
Speaking at the recent annual ALMG Muster in Mitchell, ALMG CEO, Tony Gleeson, said the
Federal Government needed to place more emphasis on long-term land management systems,
such as CLM, rather than the short-term projects currently being funded through the Caring for
Our Country program and local catchment management authorities.
"There is a place for that to some extent, but there is also a place for us to develop more efficient
ways for tax payer money to go to innovative landholders who are doing the right thing in the
long term," he said.
"There are 56 catchment management authorities across Australia all operating in isolation.
"As part of Caring for Our Country and as part of the operation of the catchment management
authorities, why not promote a national verification system for improved environment and
animal welfare?"
About 150 Australian landholders have now adopted CLM which is internationally recognised
under the ISO14001 standard.
The system aims to recognise and reward the environmental and animal welfare innovations
made by landholders.
Mr Gleeson said there were several benefits to landholders who adopted CLM.
"There are on-farm benefits where people feel they have improved their farm management
because we have a very strong farm ecology focus in our advisory programs," he said.
"Secondly, there are the sort of benefits that we hope will come from the marketplace but they
are going to take some time to develop.
"If we could get some support coming through systems like CLM than it would help give us the
critical mass we need to develop the food and fibre market benefits."
Mr Gleeson said landholders needed to differentiate their products in order to compete in higher
priced markets and said a national rollout of CLM would help achieve that.
"We have a product that we are trying to market with CLM," he said.
"We think it's a very good product. We think the time is right for that product and we think there
is a very big need for that product."
About 60 landholders and academics traveled from across Australia to attend the two-day Muster
in Mitchell last week, which was officially opened by former NFF president, David Crombie.
Titled, Connect with Land, the program had a strong on-farm focus, with several property tours
and presentations from local landholders currently working towards their CLM certification
