Submission to the Agriculture and Land Sectoral Plan, Australia

In November 2023, the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry published a discussion paper and invited submissions from industry to help them develop an Agriculture and Land Sectoral Plan, as part of Australia’s overall plan to transition to a net zero economy by 2050.

OneFortyOne submitted a response to the Department in December 2023. In it we outlined our belief that responsibly managed plantation forests, such as those operated by OneFortyOne, have a vital and immediate role to play in supporting Australia’s Net Zero transition. We reiterated the significant contribution forestry is already making as a net sink of carbon dioxide, highlighted ways in which the Agriculture and Land Sectoral Plan can support its expansion and identified areas in which our industry might work in partnership with other industries and government to reduce Australia’s emissions.
