NRM North
Project summary:

Aimed toward building on-farm and community resilience, the 2023-2024 Tasmanian Soil Extension Program applies collaborative approaches that support improved on-farm soil health management and climate resilience while maintaining adaptability to change. Through a continuous improvement process, learnings from the 2022-23 program are incorporated to ensure outputs are practical and relevant. The state-wide program features the capacity to adapt to regional needs and facilitates cross-regional collaboration between the NRMs and extensive engagement with relevant stakeholders. Changes in climate, landscape, industry trends, information technology, natural asset condition, end user capacity, and focus, as well as service provider capacity and focus are demanding adaptive extension, responsive to changes in stakeholder needs or evaluation outcomes.
