The Tasmanian Greens believe that Agriculture plays a pivotal role in Tasmania’s economy and culture and is a key source of employment in rural and regional areas. These areas require adequate access to health, education and infrastructure services to support permanent populations and vibrant communities.
Tasmania’s clean, GE-free, low-carbon brand underpins its agricultural sectors and access to niche export markets, nationally and globally.
Tasmania’s brand must be supported with the policies and programs that continue to help primary producers who want to farm in an environmentally sustainable manner to produce nutritious and chemical free food. We believe organic farming should be encouraged to support these goals.
