Photo Caption

This photo was taken at Embrapa Agrosilvopastoral, in Sinop, MT, Brazil, in May 2024. It shows beef cattle in an experiment of integrated crop-livestock-forestry systems. This research evaluates the carbon balance of the production system, animal performance and helps to promote a more sustainable production system, with lower net emissions of greenhouse gases. It is a form of sustainable intensification of agricultural production.

Teaser Text

This is the biggest experimental field of an integrated crop-livestock-forestry system in the world. Located in Sinop, Mato Grosso, Brazil, within the Amazon biome, it contributes to developing low-carbon production. In the picture, the cattle are enjoying the shade of the trees, reducing the warm sensation during a hot afternoon. Trees capture CO2, compensating for animals’ methane emissions.

What is the connection between the activity or project depicted in the photo and climate change?

Integrated crop-livestock-forestry systems make it possible to produce meat with low carbon emissions, or with net negative emissions. Well-managed trees and pasture offset methane emissions from animals, reducing the carbon footprint of meat. In addition, the trees offer thermal comfort to the animals, making the system more resilient to rising temperatures.

Is this image connected to a USAID project?

No

If no, what organization is the project associated with?

Embrapa Agrosilvopastoral (Brazil)

Government consulting on sustainable investment labelling

Government consulting on sustainable investment labelling

02 Aug, 2025

The Australian Government is starting consultation on sustainable investment product labelling, which is designed to give investors more confidence to put more capital to work in sustainable products.

The federal government said the release of this paper is a key step in implementing its Sustainable Finance Roadmap — designed to help mobilise the capital required for Australia to become a renewable energy superpower, modernising the financial markets and maximising the economic opportunities from net zero.

This consultation paper seeks views from investors, companies and the broader community on a framework for sustainable investment product labels.

These labels are designed to help investors and consumers identify, compare and make informed decisions about sustainable investment products to understand what ‘sustainable’, ‘green’ or similar words mean when they’re applied to financial products.

The government said a more robust and clear product-labelling framework will help investors and consumers invest in sustainable products with confidence and help tackle greenwashing.

This phase of consultation will run from 18 July to 29 August and help the government refine its design principles for the framework.

The consultation paper is available on the Treasury consultation hub.
