How do you prove your land is being managed sustainably when every agency, market and investor wants something different?
That’s the challenge our researchers at Federation University’s Centre for eResearch and Digital Innovation (CeRDI) are tackling head on.
In partnership with Food Agility CRC, Corangamite Catchment Management Authority, Precision Agriculture and Southern Farming Systems, CeRDI is developing a new environmental data platform to make reporting easier, faster and more efficient for landowners.
Led by Professor Francisco Ascui and Systems Analyst Programmer Richard Archer, the project aims to support farmers and land managers by bringing together public and private data sources into one adaptable system. The goal is to cut down duplication, reduce costs and give landowners the tools they need to demonstrate their environmental credentials, whether it is for government, investors or export markets.
The platform will be trialled in western Victoria, including the Leigh River, Native Hut Creek, Bruce Creek and Moorabool River catchments.
This work empowers our regions and helps build a more sustainable future for agriculture.
