CERES Tag technology can help livestock producers meet the stringent requirements of the European Union's deforestation supply chain laws and Scope 3 emissions reporting, while also improving overall sustainability practices.
The European Union requires that agricultural products, such as livestock feed, do not contribute to deforestation or forest degradation.
CERES Tag helps with this compliance by ensuring that livestock grazing is limited to designated pastures, which is verified using GPS tracking.
This data helps to demonstrate that farming practices do not encroach on or harm forested areas while adhering to sustainable land use policies.
Furthermore, CERES Tag management of rotational grazing systems contributes to the health and ecological functionality of both pastures and adjacent forest lands, thereby promoting compliance with EU regulations.
CERES Tag can also help Australian livestock producers with Scope 3 emissions reporting, which accounts for indirect emissions within a company's value chain.
By optimising pasture feed intake, the technology reduces the need for supplementary feeds, lowering emissions from their transportation.
Furthermore, efficient grazing management reduces the need for synthetic fertilisers and additional feeds, lowering the emissions associated with their production and transportation.
The detailed livestock management data provided by CERES Tag is critical for accurately calculating the farm's carbon footprint, assisting producers in identifying emission reduction opportunities, and meeting reporting requirements.
Farmers who use the CERES Tag not only comply with environmental regulations, but they also improve the sustainability of their operations.
The technology's ability to provide automated, reliable data streamlines the compliance verification process, backs up claims of sustainable practices, and improves market positioning.
Products from farms that use CERES Tag technology are likely to appeal to more environmentally conscious consumers and businesses, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable and ethically produced goods in the EU and elsewhere.
Overall, CERES Tag provides a comprehensive solution that not only assists livestock producers in understanding the complexities of EU regulations, but also promotes a sustainable and responsible approach to agricultural management.
This technology ensures that producers can maintain high environmental standards while increasing operational efficiency and market competitiveness.

You might have seen a few heavy stories hitting the media recently. Just this week, some pretty stark data was released at Parliament House showing what we already feel on the ground: rural communities are doing it tough. Between unpredictable weather, overlapping natural disasters, and skyrocketing input costs, the pressure is higher than it’s been in a decade.
North-east NSW is facing a severe surge in cattle ticks and tick fever, and primary producers are bearing the financial and emotional brunt of the crisis. While official DPIRD data reports 285 infestations and 54 deaths this financial year, experienced cattlemen on the ground warn the real toll is well into the hundreds. Across the state, infested properties have more than doubled since late 2023, jumping from 218 to over 580.
If you’ve been watching the feeder markets over the last fortnight, you’ve likely noticed a massive shift in momentum. Feeder grids have surged by 30 to 50c/kg, pushing saleyard indicators to heights we haven't seen since 2022.
