Sustainable Land Management
The Queensland Government's component of the Healthy Country project uses the FarmFLOW extension framework to assist producers identify and implement practices that may lead to significant fuel and fertiliser savings and production gains while minimising the contribution of sediments and nutrients to waterways.
QPIF is seeking to work with commercial and semi-commercial producers in the:
- Logan
- Lockyer
- Bremer and
- Pumicestone catchments.
Landholder involvement in this project can be through field days, on-farm trials and demonstrations, training in farm management, assessment of farm sustainability and areas of potential productivity gains and involvement in local grower groups.
Regardless of whether you are on 1ha or 500ha, are a commercial or semi-commercial horticultural producer or graze cattle, horses, alpacas or goats, if you are interested in farm management issues please contact one of the following officers.
Funding to improve SEQ waterways
More than 30 producers throughout South East Queensland will share in $170,000 to implement best management practices on their land to reduce potential sediment and nutrient run-off into our catchments.
