There is only one marsupial still alive in the United States today it is the opossum. Many of the plants of Australia aren't found anywhere else. Agriculture. Australia's farms are highly mechanized and therefore require the minimum of human labour. Only about 5 per cent of the country's workers are farmers. Farmland covers about 65 per cent of Australia. However, most of this land is dry grazing land. Crops are grown on only 5 per cent of the farmland. About 10 per cent of the cropland is irrigated. Australia's leading farm products are cattle, calves, wheat and wool. Also fruit and sugar cane. Australia is a leading producer and exporter of beef, sugar and wheat. Other major farm products include barley, chicken and eggs, cotton, oats, rice, potatoes, sheep and vegetables. Sheep and cattle are raised in all the Australian states. Victoria is the leading producer of dairy products. Wheat is grown in all areas that have medium rainfall and moderate temperatures

various metals, coal, and natural gas. Agriculture Agriculture in Australia is a major industry. Most of the farmland in Australia is pasture for raising cattle and sheep. Farmland covers about 65 per cent of Australia. However, most of this land is dry grazing land. Crops are grown on only about 5 per cent of the farmland. But farmers use modern agricultural methods and so make the cropland highly productive. Australia's leading farm products are cattle and calves, wheat and wool. Australia is the world's largest producer and exporter of wool and leading producer and exporter of beef, sugar and wheat. Fruits like apples and pears are grown in all the states. South Australia also produces large quantities of grapes that are used for making wine. Sheep and cattle are raised in all the states and wheat is grown in all areas of Australia that have medium rainfall and
(Menichetti et. al.,2009). Figure 9. Percentage of GHG savings (Menichetti, 2009). Among the studies on biofuels ability to reduce GHG emissions, there is a great range. Besides balancing the fossil energy ration in the production process, clearing land for biofuels feedstock production will release significant amounts for GHG emissions. Soil and plant mass are the largest active stores of carbon on the Earth. Converting native habitats to cropland can release CO2 as a result of burning the biomass. After a rapid GHG release from an initial fire to burn the original biomass, there will still be a long prolonged period, when GHG is released, as coarse roots and root branches decay. It has been estimated that clearing land would release between 17-420 times more CO 2 than the annual GHG emissions the biofuels would save by replacing fossil fuels (Farigone, 2008). Another study has concluded
