Agriculture is essential to produce food and fibre. Extensive livestock grazing occurs across Australia, often in areas where dingoes live. Within these shared landscapes tensions can occur between grazing communities and predatory wildlife such as dingoes.

This guide aims to increase producers’ skills, knowledge and confidence to adopt tools and practices that are part of a wider movement towards sustainable and high welfare animal agriculture.
