New Paper: Producing rice while conserving the habitat of an endangered waterbird: Incentives for farmers to integrate water management

0

It feels so good to see this new paper published in Land Use Policy. It’s all about incentives for rice growers to manage their crops in a bittern-friendly way. It includes an assessment of in-kind contributions, growers’ motivations, and their preferences for a wide range of aspects of incentive programs. Such information can be crucial in designing succesful incentive programs, and the present bittern-friendly rice growing incentive program with Riverina Local Land Services was built on this work. Click on the below link to the paper and if you’d like a full copy of the pdf then please email info@bitternsinrice.com.au
