Australia’s population growth will place enormous pressure on the food production industry as crop productions and livestock grazing must increase to support the growth (Ruiz et al. 2013). However, the competition for land between residential and agricultural uses has limited the availability of cultivable land (Ruiz et al. 2013). Thus, sustainability is a major concern as production industries are forced to move further out from the capital cities and thus, will drive the cost of food up (Ruiz et al. 2013).
The figures in 2007 and 2008 periods showed a trend between livestock grazing and production of crop and horticulture. Even though livestock grazing is primarily the largest agriculture land use, figures have shown a substantial decline.
