Players are faced with a selection of decisions, challenges and opportunities – each of which has two options. Players are awarded or deducted points for environmental, economic and social sustainability. Challenges have been created by industry experts based on real-life farming examples. Mission Sustain highlights the complexity of issues faced by livestock farmers. Could be used in class (desktop & phone) or as homework to consolidate learning.
