Future Farm Industries CRC
Scholarship Description
New farming technologies being created by the FFI CRC are likely to have complex impacts on the farming systems used across southern Australia. The CRC needs to be able to evaluate the likely attractiveness of its new technologies and the areas over which they are likely to be adopted. As part of this, detailed bio-economic models would be developed and used to assess issues such as: changes in rotation to accommodate the new technologies, effects on the riskiness of the farm system, demands on labour at peak times, effects on the integration between crop and livestock enterprises, soil types on which the new practices are likely to be grown most successfully, and the overall balance between different types of enterprises. Australia has a strong history in this type of analysis, with some of the leading models internationally have been created here. These include MIDAS, MUDAS and RIM.
