INTRODUCTION
The swift in population growth, consumption is rising a high meat
production demand. The broiler production farm requires intensive
farming system to keep continue process of chicken meat in terms of
qualitative and affordable product. But without pasture and suitable
site it is not possible to produce good quality, affordable meat in a
limited resource as in South Australia, Central Biophysical Region has
same kind of problem. Furthermore, the rapid growth in the broiler farm
can enormously cause socio- environmental damage.
Australian people consume various type of proteins, among them chicken
meat is the most preferable source of food. According to PoultryHub
(2019) measured that annual prodction and processing of chicken meat in
Australia is around 664 million. For the processing and production
purpose of broiler chicken meat there are numerus types of production
systems and machineries are available. As Federal Government (2015)
emphasised that, the free range, conventional, and organic methods are
most common systems in Australia. Moreover, the maximum number of
poultry farms are situated in metropolitan and CBD areas with limited
adjustments. According to Wijayanto et al. (2016) states that,
adaptationand considaration of the sustainable development standards and
identification of proper production site can be the solution to decrease
the antagonistic costs in the broiler production.
Nevertheless, an implementation of new development strategies in urban
area attracted poultry farm businesses to establish new production
industries in regional areas (PoultryHub, 2019). Therefore, there are
need to develop intensive production system for poultry farms by
selecting suitable site. Identify the suitable location for the poultry
farm production considering the EPA guidelines. And obtaining the
current land use data in south Australia. Considering land cover and
land use data (including, urban and rural areas).
