Grain Producers SA (GPSA) is committed to understanding the current state of play on behalf of grain producers in the world of sustainability. As the peak grain body in South Australia, we want to be on the front foot when it comes to sustainability credentials, the current trends and issues, and ensuring we can help South Australian grain producers meet the changing expectations and needs of international markets, governments, consumers, communities and other key stakeholders while remaining productive.
GPSA is looking to not only better understand where we can provide education and support for producers to meet these demands, but also communicate to the consumer the already well-established sustainability credentials of South Australian grain.
The GPSA Sustainability Roadmap identifies five key pathways to guide industry action over the next five years, including:
Together, these pathways aim to deliver a unified approach to sustainability across the South Australian grain industry, improve grower engagement and ensure alignment with emerging national and international expectations for sustainable grain production, as outlined in the Roadmap.
