Shared space
This project aimed to understand how farmers perceive and value CSG developments on their own and others’ farms.
The result of the research provided information that assists farmers, from a range of production systems (such as extensive grazing to intensive cropping), and developers to negotiate means of co-existence that maximise benefits and minimise social and economic costs.
