Speaker A argues that, in the very long term, practising monoculture is likely infeasible on fragile Australian soils and that farming systems will need to change to remain sustainable. The speaker notes there has been no livestock on their property since the 1970s but does not expect a complete end to livestock or pasture phases within the next decade.

If you take the super long term view, I'd say pretty difficult on our fragile Australian soils to make monoculture work longer term. So that's at a very high level. So you're going to have to be doing something, I believe in time somewhere down the track to enable that sustainable practice of farming to continue. So I've been saying we've had no livestock here since the 70s. Do I think there'll be no livestock here or no pasture phase or no. Something different to the way we're doing it today? Even in 10 years time, I'd suggest not.
