MEAT & Livestock Australia (MLA) has unveiled the new Pasture Pathways program for grazing advisors, with applications open for interested groups to participate.
Pasture Pathways is a training and development initiative designed to equip new, graduate, and developing advisors with additional skills and knowledge needed to provide enhanced pasture agronomy and grazing management advice to red meat producers across Australia.
According to MLA program manager Sally Leigo, Pasture Pathways is an 18-month development program aimed at addressing the shortage of pasture and grazing land management advisors.
“Organisations providing pasture agronomy and grazing land management advisory services are invited to apply to participate in this innovative program,” she said.
There are up to 10 places available, and the program starts in July and ends in December 2026, featuring:
• Training in MLA programs and guidance from experienced advisors.
• Development of personal skills critical to a sustainable career in pasture advisory.
• A combination of face-to-face workshops, online learning, and self-paced e-learning.
• Networking opportunities with industry experts, advisors, and MLA managers.
Applications close on May 18 and interested businesses and individuals can submit an expression of interest to program manager Ben Reeve at breeve@meridian-ag.com.au
