Profiting from Sustainability
Profiting from Sustainability
Objectives
Mainstream view of 'sustainable intensification' being an oxymoron, and the general industry view that sustainable systems can only be implemented at a cost to production outputs
Objectives
Sustainable production that is validated as profitable for the farmer in order to encourage uptake, and disseminated to the farmer with a focus on production benefits.
Activities
Validation. Dissemination.
Activities
Validation of sustainable systems as being profitable and 'multi-functional', achieved through inclusion of precision agricultural technologies were necessary to address production conflicts.
Current focuses are on inclusion of additional plants within the crop landscape, either within fields (polyculture) or in non-cropped on-farm habitat (e.g. field margins)
