How Ontario’s beef industry can learn from Australia’s traceability and meat standards program

August 12, 2014: Value Chain Management International (VCMI) released a case study on one of the most effective livestock traceability systems in the world in terms of economic impact — Australia’s National Livestock Information System (NLIS).

In early 2014, in conjunction with Beef Farmers of Ontario (BFO), VCMI facilitated a visit to Australia to learn about this highly progressive system. The purpose of the visit was to provide senior industry representatives with the opportunity to view firsthand the challenges and drivers that led to the development of NLIS, how the system is sustained and governed, and how innovative business leaders are utilizing NLIS to improve the production and marketing of beef.
