Australian agriculture
Australian agriculture is a diverse sector that includes the farming of crops like wheat, barley, and cotton, as well as livestock such as cattle, sheep, and goats. The country's vast land and varying climates allow for both large-scale industrial farming and smaller, sustainable operations. Agriculture is vital to Australia's economy, providing food for domestic consumption and export markets. Key challenges include water management, droughts, and adapting to climate change. Innovation in technology and sustainable practices help improve productivity and environmental health, ensuring Australian agriculture continues to support the nation’s needs and global food supply.
