Funded Activity Summary

Raising Rare Breeds: Domestication, Extinction and Meat in the Anthropocene. This project aims to advance knowledge of livestock breed extinctions and domestication in the climate change era. Through the first nationwide qualitative study of rare breed farmers, this project will produce fine-grained data on the values and practices of rare breed farmers, while raising awareness of the challenges they face in their critical conservation work. The project's findings are expected to provide innovative perspectives on human-animal relations and meat consumption in contemporary Australia. Benefits to rare breed farmers and the Australian community are anticipated through determining how Australia's livestock genetic diversity can best be supported for a food secure future.
