羊毛簡介

羊毛牧民

你穿的衣服就是這些人「養」出來的,他們的熱情、執著、敬業交織在一起,養育出全世界最好的羊毛。

澳洲羊毛業的核心是數萬名羊毛養殖業者,他們孜孜不倦,用心照顧自家的綿羊和牧草地。幾個世紀以來,他們一直是澳洲的中堅分子,堅持選擇羊毛,不做其他商品,而且以自己的工作為榮,生產出全世界最好的羊毛。澳洲羊毛養殖業施行創新且永續環保的畜牧法,以保障產業的未來。

Wallbrook的John Wallace(圖左)和Red Gully的Dave Vandenberghe(圖右)都有堅定的信念,相信身為澳洲羊毛養殖業者的自己,是這片土地真正的守護者。

 

The Woolmark Company積極為羊毛養殖業界籌畫培訓管理活動,傳播具有前瞻性的新點子,推廣持續學習和最佳養殖法。公司也舉辦繁殖性能研討會,參與者普遍回報母羊生產力有10%的增長。

澳洲大多數的農場仍屬家族私有經營,許多農村和地區大大倚賴羊毛產業。這種社區固有情誼是澳洲美麗諾羊毛生產者200年來有長足進步的原因之一。今天,羊毛養殖業者大有理由為澳洲擁有全世界最先進的羊毛產業感到自豪,其他任何國家都沒有如此高效率、透明又極為發達的羊毛行銷體系,包括17,000多名訓練有素、領有證照的羊毛分級員,以及客觀公正的實驗室,出口的美麗諾羊毛幾乎每一批都經過檢驗。

聚焦養殖業者

從東部沿海的高降雨區,到西部氣候較乾燥的牧區,羊毛養殖業者無不致力於維持、保護、提升自家農場的自然資源,包括水域、谷地丘陵,和本土動植物。不只如此,許多養殖業者心目中土地保育的目標甚至是「走時要比來時更好」。

時下的消費者眼光挑剔,對他們而言,人道又環保的飼養方式和衣服本身的品質同樣重要。澳洲羊毛產業先進且透明,羊毛可以追溯到生產地,讓消費者對美麗諾羊毛服裝的產地和品質充滿信心。

更綠化的未來

透過與羊毛生產商的合作,澳大利亞綠色組織一如其名,正在實現綠化的使命。這個民間組織塔斯馬尼亞分部的環境保護主任塞巴斯蒂安.伯吉斯(Sebastian Burgess)解釋道:「我們運用最先進的科學知識來了解景觀所面臨的問題,並運用我們找得到的收入來源來執行計畫。」最近,伯吉斯和他的團隊工作的重點是塔斯馬尼亞中部地區(包括康納拉、坎貝爾鎮、羅斯、滕布里奇鎮周圍地區)構成的「塔斯馬尼亞島方舟計畫」。
