The research complements and adds value to RIRDC’s on-going work on Resilient Agricultural Systems, and seeks to go beyond the growing interest in environmental management systems (EMS) in agriculture by looking at ways in which voluntary (non-legislated) environmental certification and labelling schemes may differentiate food and fibre products on environmental grounds in the marketplace.
