As managing the effects of climate variability continues to be a growing concern for producers across the NSW Northern Tablelands, University of New England (UNE) researchers are stressing the importance of healthy waterways when trying to achieve a resilient and productive grazing system.
It was the key message at a series of recent coaching sessions held as part of the Drought Resilient Pasture Landscapes (DRPL) project, where producers from across the region gathered to learn more about how aquatic ecosystems and pasture health go hand-in-hand.
“The quality of water and the health of waterways depends on good grazing and pasture management practices,” says Professor Lewis Kahn, who leads the DRPL project.
“Equally, healthy waterways support healthy pasture and animals," he said.
