Rural production advocate AgForce has condemned accusations from conservation group Greenpeace that Queensland is becoming a deforestation hotspot ahead of the COP26 summit in Glasgow.
AgForce CEO Michael Guerin described the accusations as malicious and claims Australia’s agriculture industry will pledge to do all it can to further reduce Co2 emissions.
Mr Guerin further urged Greenpeace to consider the variety of Australian landscapes, saying that our world class agricultural industry would present Queenslanders with a unique historic opportunity.
