Changes in soil management and sustainable farming practices have the potential to generate productivity gains and environmental improvements in the dairy, cropping and grazing industries in Corangamite. This project is based on the understanding that many of these practices could be more widely adopted than they are currently. Some are innovative, like pasture cropping, while others are more widely known. The project will focus on practices that affect groundcover, soil erosion and nutrient loss, especially where they affect the region’s high value natural assets. The project team will work with the community and existing projects to identify and address barriers to adoption of these changes. This will include developing information packages, economic analyses and demonstrations. They will be tailored to issues, industries and locations across the region.
