Sustainable Grazing on Saline Lands (July 2001 - June 2006) Establish a national network of saltland wool producers, underpinned by novel on-farm research, to increase profit from salt-affected land while reducing the land at risk of increased salinity. By June 2003, the network will cover one million hectares of land and up to three million hectares by 2006 across Australia. | Warren Mason, SGSL Tel: (02) 6363 1249 Email: warren@rpcsolutions.com.au | Update, Dec 2002 |
