We have a long and productive collaboration with Kilter Rural, which extends back to 2004 when they first established their FFL Winlaton farmlands near Lake Boga. On 9000 […]

Higher summer temperatures and greater frequency of extreme temperature events are major climate change related threats in the Mallee. A project, funded by DELWP, Agriculture Victoria and the Mallee CMA, was developed to model yield impacts on irrigated horticulture crops (citrus, grapes and almonds) under current and future (2030, 2050 and 2070) climate scenarios and […]
