Sustainability Issues For Agriculture In Western Australia, Anne Bennett, Ross Kingwell, Ross George
Sustainability Issues For Agriculture In Western Australia, Anne Bennett, Ross Kingwell, Ross George
Agriculture reports
This paper describes briefly the main challenges to the sustainability of agriculture in Western Australia and outlines some means of responding the the challenges: market-based approaches; agricultural and environmental research and development; accelerated adjustment; and global and national policy initiatives. Challenges include: land resource quality (salinity, soil acidity), biodiversity, greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, water availability, food safety, and pests and diseases.

Published Salinity Information And Wa Farmers. An Investigation Into The Effectiveness Of Current Published Salinity Information, Stephen Lloyd
Agriculture reports
Salinity is one of the greatest environmental threats facing Western Australia. Extension of salinity information to WA farmers is a key process in helping the rural community manage this threat. Published information is an important part of this extension. However, there has been very little research into the use and effectiveness of published salinity information. The aim of this study was to investigate:
• Effectiveness of current salinity information products and services in relation to decision making and practice change by WA farmers;
• Possible improvement in salinity publications to better assist WA farmers in decision making and practice change.
