UWA Future Farm 2050

• The Farm:
Profitable as a business; Integrated enterprises
Clever infrastructure; Better than self-sufficient for water and electricity

• The Enterprises:
1) Precision cropping (cereals, canola): No-Till; make use of every rain drop; drying climate
2) CGE livestock production. Clean = less reliance on hormones and drugs; Green = smaller ecological footprint; Ethical = maximise animal welfare.
3) Ecosystem and biodiversity: non-productive land holds carbon, used to conserve native plants and wildlife
4) People: happy farmers living in vibrant rural communities; best design housing and infrastructure.
