Plant-based protein inputs can complement existing feed formulations when selected and processed with animal health and performance in mind. Their role is not to replace all conventional inputs, but to broaden the nutritional toolkit available to producers.

An integrated approach to feed supports better alignment between crop production, processing pathways, and livestock or aquaculture requirements.

Developing a protein hub in North Queensland supports skills development, infrastructure investment, and scalable production aligned with domestic and Asia-Pacific markets. For livestock and aquaculture sectors, this translates to greater confidence in long-term planning and supply continuity.

This systems-based thinking aligns with Wandarra’s broader SMARTS™ framework — Sustainable Materials and Regenerative Transformative Systems — which underpins how regional food, feed, and wellness pathways are approached across the business.
