In this episode of Paddock Chat, we speak with Anna Cornell from NACC NRM about the 'Growing Great Ground' project. The project aims to combat wind erosion and enhance on-farm biodiversity in the northern agricultural region.
Anna, who has a personal connection to the region, shares her passion for making a positive impact on her community and the environment.
Anna discusses how workshops and other events have played a crucial role in educating producers about new technologies and sustainable practices. These activities have contributed to a wider adoption of effective strategies, resulting in increased ground cover and native vegetation.
The 'Growing Great Ground' project, in collaboration with the Northern Agricultural Catchments Council (NACC) and the Australian Government’s Regional Land Partnerships initiative of the National Landcare Program, is dedicated to fostering sustainable land management practices and promoting biodiversity conservation, creating a lasting positive impact on the region.
