The 21st Century Pastoralism Project aims to create a desert pastoral research collaboration that spans desert regions, and the variety of scientific disciplines relevant to extensive pastoral production systems.
The immediate challenge for the 21st Century Pastoralism Project is to develop future research directions, and design a structure to implement the research activities across the different regions and agencies.
Four strategic research areas have emerged, namely:
- Improving economic sustainability
- Planning for variability
- Utilising technology
- Engaging Aboriginal pastoralists
