As farmers are increasingly exposed to variable climate conditions and changing market expectations around sustainability, it can be hard to decide on the best course of action to ensure they remain viable – Our Natural Advantage supports farmers to make future-focussed decisions with confidence.
Our Natural Advantage demonstrates and communicates practical actions farmers can adopt to support production and resilience, meet changing conditions and capitalise on co-benefits of protecting and enhancing natural capital on farms. Working with local agricultural industries, this project will set up on-farm demonstrations and associated extension and communication resources, supporting actions which aid farm productivity and resilience and align with industry sustainability frameworks. Additional one-on-one and targeted implementation support will assist farmers to deliver identified improved practices on farm.
This project is supported by the Australian Government through funding from the Natural Heritage Trust under the Climate-Smart Agriculture Program and delivered by Cradle Coast Authority, a member of the Commonwealth Regional Delivery Partners panel.
