Maintaining profits through varying and difficult seasons is a must for sheep producers. Extremes of weather (floods, droughts, heat and cold) and simply differing seasons test the skill of producers to maintain production, animal welfare and profits while protecting our land, pasture and environment.

This project will build drought resilience in cool viticulture and horticultural regions, largely in NSW and Tasmania, focusing on wine grapes, apples and cherries

Protecting our $40 billion per annum wine industry from one of the top five diseases found in vineyards across Australia. Eutypa dieback (ED) and botryosphaeria dieback (BD) are major Grapevine trunk diseases that are increasingly affecting vineyards over five years old and are threatening the sustainability of Australian vineyards and the wine industry.

The Mekong Delta is home to 19 million people who produce 50% of Vietnam's food. Saline water is creeping further inland in the Mekong Delta, threatening the livelihoods of millions of farmers and, more broadly, food security in Vietnam’s critically important ‘rice bowl’.

Australia is home to ancient soils that are prone to erosion and usually have low levels of nutrients and organic matter. The effective management of our delicate soil is severely hampered by a changing climate, growing population pressure, and the need to produce more food and fiber.

Herbicides are a major input cost for grain growers but are an essential tool in the management of weeds.

Demand for pulses in Pakistan outpaces supply due to declining production over the last 20 years. Despite relatively high prices, legumes, especially chickpea and lentils, have been progressively pushed out to the most marginal lands.

Weed control is a costly and time-consuming issue for land managers across Australia. The detection of weed populations is always the first step towards achieving efficacious control. We are committed to investigating the possibilities and the limitations of remote sensing technologies for the detection of weeds in mixed landscapes.

Herbicide resistant and invasive weeds have a major impact on grain farmer's profitability. The cost of weeds to Australian agriculture is estimated at an annual $4 billion through crop yield loss and seed contamination. This estimate continues to rise with increasing crop value, and as herbicide resistance becomes increasingly more widespread.

Since 1964, the introduction of 23 dung beetle species to Australia has been a remarkable success in biological control. We aim to estimate the positive impact of dung beetles on profitability and productivity for primary producers, uncovering their valuable benefits.

Providing producers with a transparent and credible tool to understand and manage natural capital and Greenhouse Gas emissions.
