This channel demonstrates how systems models, decision-support tools and digital technologies can be used to improve crop, pasture and livestock productivity, profitability and sustainability. The channel includes:
- Carbon farming, pathways to carbon neutrality and net-zero emissions
- Climate change impacts and adaptation, including extreme climatic events
- Cautions on trading soil carbon
- The influence of nitrogen, temperature and water stress on crop growth (e.g. drought, extreme heat)
- Sustainable grazing thresholds
- Genotype by environment by management interactions
- Optimising whole farm crop rotations to increase profitability
- Effects on temperature on phenology
- WaterCan Profit, a calculator to improve profitability of irrigated systems
- Effects of irrigation infrastructure on productivity and economic returns
- How to identify and solve bugs in systems models
- Simple guidance on building your first simulation (APSIM, DSSAT)
- Effects of soils on crop/pasture growth
