Agriculture

Research under the agriculture theme aims to minimise disruption to farm businesses, and the likelihood of development-based risks such as erosion and invasive pests. It also supports co-benefit through maximising opportunities from the co-location of gas development and agriculture. Our agriculture and land management projects range from innovations in design to the practical application of acquired knowledge. Learn more about our research in the projects below.
