March 16, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

An alliance of farming and environmental groups has been formed with the aim of creating an independent system to assess land management.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Land Management Alliance (LMA) is pooling the resources of AgForce Qld, the Queensland Farmers\u2019 Federation (QFF), Australian Land Management Group, Southern Queensland Landscapes, and the Lock the Gate Alliance.<\/p>\n

AgForce CEO Michael Guerin said the group would bring “a sustainability approach” that considers every aspect of land management.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur new LMA has endorsed 10 key principles for the design and operation of a stewardship certification system \u2013 with particular focus on landholder participation and the credibility of the certification,\u201d Mr Guerin said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to engage landholders in a broad-based, meaningful way via a stewardship system that is outcome rather than practice-based and rewards them for well-managed landscapes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Australian Land Management Group CEO Tony Gleeson said the group was proposing a voluntary, whole-of-farm, landscape-linked certification system that was not restricted to particular ecological features such as biodiversity or water quality.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cA system that is operated by an independent entity outside of government and industry, and whose standards and certification are provided on an open, competitive basis by accredited trainers and auditors,\u201d Mr Gleeson said.<\/p>\n

The 10 Principles for a Land Stewardship Certification System<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

 
\nStewardship system(s) should:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Positively influence the on-going management decisions of land managers.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Provide support for continuous improvement in environmental outcomes.<\/p>\n

3. Be nationally applicable.<\/p>\n

4. Have ecological integrity.<\/p>\n

5. Have spatial integrity.<\/p>\n

6. Have a positive benefit-cost ratio.<\/p>\n

7. Be able to encompass multiple credence factors.<\/p>\n

8. Be credible for all parties.<\/p>\n

9. Be nationally and internationally recognised.<\/p>\n

10. Be sufficiently flexible to deliver on varying additional requirements of governments, industry, and community partners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
