| Abstract: | An undesirable consequence of grazing activities in eastern Australia is the quantity
of sediment emptying into the Great Barrier Reef Lagoon. One of the challenges to
reducing sediment loads stems from the lack of private incentives to improve land
management practices. There is also a poor understanding of the financial
implications resulting from the adoption of sustainable management practices, and, in
particular the lack of scientific and economic knowledge linking on-farm management
actions to catchment scale impacts. Bio-economic modelling has been used to
identify the economic and environmental trade-offs encountered when grazing
strategies are altered to reduce off-farm sediment movement from a black spear grass
pasture in central Queensland. |
