澳大利亚的绵羊业在可持续性方面取得了进步,但面临着伤害增加、羊毛价值下降和劳动力问题等挑战。 Australia's sheep industry advanced in sustainability but faces challenges including rising injuries, declining wool value, and workforce issues.

2025年牧羊可持续性框架报告显示,澳大利亚的羊业在降低排放强度和将无保障羊毛产量提高到18.6%方面取得了进展,并改进了梅里诺羊的疼痛管理。 The 2025 Sheep Sustainability Framework report shows Australia’s sheep industry made progress in reducing emissions intensity and increasing non-mulesed wool production to 18.6%, with improved pain management for Merino sheep. 然而,挑战包括工伤增加、废物加工量激增、羊毛价值下降10.3%、研究投资减少以及保护者对生活的满意度降低。 However, challenges include rising worker injuries, a spike in processing waste, declining wool value by 10.3%, reduced research investment, and lower graziers’ life satisfaction. 生物多样性努力有所扩大,72.6%的生产者参与养护,但可再生能源的使用减少。 Biodiversity efforts expanded, with 72.6% of producers involved in conservation, but renewable energy use dipped. 数据差距仍然存在,尤其是在运输和生物多样性跟踪方面。 Data gaps remain, particularly in transport and biodiversity tracking. 这些发现为“未来群”提供了指导，这是一项全国性战略，旨在加强经济可行性，并在干旱、价格波动和劳动力短缺中推动协调行动。 The findings are informing The Future Flock, a national strategy to strengthen economic viability and drive coordinated action amid drought, price volatility, and workforce shortages.
