Wool growers around the world are diversifying their farm systems to adapt to climate change, and maximising their resilience by planting to stabilise steep country or retiring lower-producing areas to allow native regeneration to provide more shade and shelter, and support natural ecosystems.

Adaptation Futures 2025 #AF2025 @adaptationfutures.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

The rugs were made using ZQ-certified wool, which holds growers to the highest animal welfare standards while also assuring environmental and social responsibility.
