They combine expertise in crop and grazing systems research, together with farm enterprise economics. This includes people who undertake field research, spatiotemporal and systems modelling, and who are at the forefront of international research and innovation to manage the impact of climate on agriculture. By assembling expertise from WA, SA, NSW/ACT and QLD, the group addresses regional challenges across the nation.
