OUR STORIES

Advocating for the Australian irrigated agriculture industry

Our community has stories to share 

Our Members, Partners and Sponsors have heartfelt stories on how they innovate and adapt to continue to provide Australians and many other nations, the most sustainable food and fibre. Together we continue to demonstrate our world leadership in best practice to ensure every drop counts.  

Our leadership story also includes caring for country, whilst also producing food and fibre and managing businesses.  

Private landholders around Australia are responsible for more than 80% of our wetlands and critical environments.  To enhance opportunities to make improvements to our natural environments, private landholders must be part of the solution.  

Overtime, farmers and water delivery operators have adapted infrastructure and new technology for new purposes, to help restore and protect environmental assets within their care. 

“‘Burrima’ is a window into the wetlands, and an opportunity to have a voice in environmental management.”
David Duncan Farmer, and part owner of Burrima
“We’re investing heavily to improve our productivity, both agriculturally and with the local environment”
Leigh Vial Farmer, near Moulamien
"The revegetation adds appeal and adds value to the amenity of the town. There are more walkers and bike riders than 10 years ago.”
