Australian Agricultural Sustainability Framework Consultation
Australian Agricultural Sustainability Framework
The AASF is evolving from a program of projects to a coordinating entity that can support sustainability services across Australia’s agricultural sector. To support this transition, a formal consultation process was undertaken between December 2024 and March 2025. The process aimed to test key elements of the Framework project and gather stakeholder views on proposed governance models, enhancements to the Framework’s content, the future of the data ecosystem and the development of sustainability indicators.
The consultation process focused on key areas of the AASF:
Future of the AASF – Governance, Strategy and Operations
The strategic and operational future of the AASF – including its vision, purpose, value proposition, governance arrangements and potential services
Framework Enhancement – Materiality Assessment Recommendations
The elements of the Framework that need to be enhanced – including addressing the Materiality Assessment Recommendations
Data Ecosystem
