FFI Enrich - Multipurpose healthy grazing systems using shrubs

Summary

This project represented a broad range of activities that aim to develop profitable and sustainable integrated grazing systems that incorporate shrubs, in the livestock-cropping zones of southern Australia. Integrated farming systems that incorporate shrubs provided flexibility and resilience allowing producers to respond to environmental and economic drivers and manage risk in the farm business. This particular project aimed to explore the use of shrubs as a feedbase for profitable grazing enterprises that are based on sound resource management principles, including the management of dryland salinity, soil erosion and adaptability to climate change.
