Cane farmers invited to comment on land management 

Published on 13 September, 2012 

Cane farmers, including farm owners or managers, will soon be invited to participate in a survey of land management practices, on a confidential and voluntary basis.

CQUniversity's Centre for Environmental Management (CEM) is researching factors affecting adoption of cane farm land management practices that have water quality benefits in the Great Barrier Reef catchments. The project is funded by Australian Government Land and Coasts.

A team of CEM researchers will make phone contact with cane farmers within the Burnett-Mary and Mackay-Whitsunday-Isaac reef catchment regions between September 24 and October 13, for a 20-minute discussion about factors affecting land management practices.

Details are available via Principal Investigator Dr Delwar Akbar (4923 2316 or d.akbar@cqu.edu.au).
