GRDC Code: CSP1707-019RTX
CSP00208 - Optimising whole-farm water use efficiency and risk using whole farm bioeconomics - Postdoctoral Fellow aligned to Northern farming Systems projects
Australian farms are becoming larger, timeliness of operations and managing risk for the whole farm business is becoming increasingly complex. This project supports a Postdoctoral Fellow who is working with the GRDC Northern Farming Systems projects to ensure that valuable agronomic innovations emerging from paddock-scale experimental work and associated modelling are thoroughly assessed at the whole-farm level, so the most promising strategies can be more rapidly identified and adopted, and tractable farm-scale constraints to other promising innovations can be identified and if possible removed.
