LIMITATIONS OF ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEM ON AUSTRALIAN AGRICULTURE1
Environmental management is the management of the ecology. It helps in the analysis
of global issues encouraging various ways for reducing the problems. It deals with the ways
in resolving the environmental issues as well as helps in the prevention of the ecological
disaster. Environmental management takes care of the land, air, and water. It helps in the
preserving of natural resources (Silva et al. 2017). Australia is one of the highest producing
countries in the world that has been producing wheat, wool and various other crops including
rice, sugar, oilseeds, and grains. Australia provides a large share of Australia's exports.
Around 350,000 jobs in the years 2010 and 2011 were based on agriculture. There is a great
impact on the environment in agriculture. Farming practice has an impact on the ecosystem.
It affects the variety of production and system of farming (Waters 2013). The paper is on the
limitations in Australian agriculture. The paper is based on is there any limitation that the
farmers are facing in Australia and how it can be solved.
Environment management system targets in the improving of the environmental condition
without hampering the market sale and the economy of the country. Its main motive is to
improve the quality of the food ensuring health to the environmental components and saving
the natural resources. The environment management system has been designed for the
management of the business and to ameliorate environmental risks associated with the
product. It helps in biodiversity and encourages habitats and sustainable agriculture. It
promotes education and different types of agricultural practices to the farmers ensuring
higher production along with sustainable agriculture in order to save the environment from
degrading (Daddi, Testa, Frey and Iraldo 2016). Environmental system has several limitations
and it has been imposing its limitations in the agriculture. However, environmental system
ensures that there is no loss or lack in the economy of the private or public sectors. Hence, the
environmental system provides different techniques and ways of agriculture for improving
the quality of the product as well as the condition of the environment.

LIMITATIONS OF ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEM ON AUSTRALIAN AGRICULTURE2
Australian agriculture has been producing various products and crops that have been
increasing in the economy of the country enhancing agricultural growth. Australia is famous
for producing wheat, wool, and beef (Cary and Roberts 2011). The major Australian
commercial crops are broadacre grains, legumes, and oilseed. Other intensive crops include
rice, sugar, cotton, grapes, potatoes, and bananas. Beef, wool, and dairy products are the
major livestock including sheep, poultry meats and pig. Around 350,000 employees in
Australia are associated with agriculture. It has significant input in various industries,
especially in food industries. This had a turnover of $65 billion and an added value of $ 24
billion in the year 2010-2011. The comparative advantage of Australia in the production of
agriculture is quite strong. This has been possible is Australia due to its high size, geography,
and innovation in technology and an increase in workforce skills (Sonesson et al. 2017). In
Australia, agriculture is the most productive and competitive sector that has helped in the rise
in the economy of the country. The increase in the population of Australia leads to an
increase in the
Modern agriculture helps in the increase in production with limited use of the economy.
Modern agriculture excessively uses natural resources hampering the land, air, and water in
order to meet the demands of the people. Modern agriculture helps in the decrease in the
price of the food with an increase in the supply of food (Lewandowska 2011). Modern
agriculture, on the other hand, promotes the use of hybrid seeds, which increases the use of
water, fertilizers and other chemicals that have an impact on the environment degrading the
condition of the groundwater.
The effect of different farming practices has a different impact on the environment. There
are two types of environmental impact: means-based and effect-based. The means-based is
the farming production method whereas the effect-based is the impact that farming has on the
farming system or is emitted to the environment. There are positives as well as negatives
