Our farmers understand more than anyone else that the health of the environment and their land is intrinsically tied to their profit and loss. The government has a range of programs designed to support sustainable farming practices that deliver increased productivity and improve biodiversity outcomes. This includes around $1 billion in Landcare, the Agriculture Stewardship Package announced last year and the $5 billion Future Drought Fund. These programs also support achieving the $100 billion ag sector 2030 target.
Question agreed to.
