Co-develop with industry and producers (utilising R&D projects on sustainability indicators and BMPs at national or State level) a series of indicators of sustainability that can be used by local producers to guide sustainable use of natural resources at local level. Consult through participating subregional NRM groups to catchment groups developing and implementing strategic catchment plans and other producers and producer groups involved in NRM innovation.
Part of the project funding was to enable Delivery Organisation to engage producers in the development and testing of prototype indicators. The Delivery Organisations help determine and support producer groups to test if indicators can provide value in assisting producers to determine if proposed changes in agricultural systems will in fact lead to net gain in sustainability for farm business; providing essential first steps to linking with and evaluating industry BMPs; and providing potential for producers in future (during next decade) to market produce in emerging markets for “clean and green” products.
