The genesis of this event
www.RuralPracticeChange.org
www.RuralPracticeChange.org
Why is this important?
Rural Australia is under pressure, and facing rapid & sustained
change
The community has multiple requirements of rural landscapes Food, fibre, export income
Biodiversity, water, landscape amenity, tourism
Residential and commercial space
The rapidly evolving carbon & energy agendas
These objectives are often in tension
currently amplified by climate change and economic & policy uncertainty
There are major public policy (and commercial) interests in being able to understand, predict and influence rural practice change
