Despite being very significant components of the North’s population, especially in remoter areas, and increasingly ‘land rich’ through ongoing acquisitions and Native Title determinations, it is widely acknowledged that Indigenous people remain severely economically and socially disadvantaged. In this chapter we address the challenge of developing a culturally, environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable regional land sector economy, focusing on alternatives to the current spatially dominant land use sector of the North, the pastoral industry. By some estimates, beef cattle production activities occur over as much as 90% of North Australia, particularly involving extensive, as opposed to intensive grain-fed, production systems.1 Pastoral lands include not only pastoral leases but also swathes of country involving Indigenously-owned Land Trust areas, such as Arnhem Land that supports large numbers of feral water buffalo, cattle, and horses. Available data indicate that there are around four million cattle in our focal area of 1.2 million km2 of the North Australia study region (Chapter 2; Map 2.3), with a ‘ northern Australian’ (including all of Queensland) herd of around 13.7 million, and a national herd of around 25 million.2 CONTENTS","PeriodicalId":283874,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Land Sector Development in Northern Australia","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133457915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Myth to Reality highlighted that over the past 50 years, three big narratives have tended to reappear with great predictability. One of these narratives is based on the perception that North Australia is a place of endless economic bounty and limitless resource development opportunity. The second derives from those who would like to see extensive conservation outcomes (Box 8.1). Both narratives are based on important national needs. There are significant resource development opportunities in the North, while at the same time the region is a largely intact bio-cultural landscape of immense international value (see Chapter 5). Both narratives, however, tend to discount major physical, climatic, economic, and social barriers and opportunities.","PeriodicalId":283874,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Land Sector Development in Northern Australia","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121250863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
