Resource Management Survey

The Australian government has developed a range of programs to encourage sustainable agriculture and protect Australia’s natural resources. These programs include the National Landcare Program, the Natural Heritage Trust and, more recently, the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality. The 2001-02 resource management survey was designed to investigate the perceptions of, and responses to, land degradation by Australian broadacre and dairy farmers, and to assist in the ongoing evaluation of these natural resource management programs. The resource management survey is a supplementary survey attached to our national survey of broadacre and dairy industries, allowing information from these surveys to be combined. A client report was also produced based on this data.
