Abstract

In 2013 the beef industry was worth $7.4 billion to the Australian economy. For those 10% of Australians who live outside the major cities, information and communication technologies are trickling into the small towns and homesteads of rural Australia. Data and information are key to sustainable businesses including agriculture enterprises and information will be increasingly important for economic and environmental sustainability, animal health and welfare and preserving the right to farm. Producers that can provide evidence of the way their products are produced may command a premium price in a modern society.
