Shifting from land-use capability to land-use suitability
The LUS classification system will be based on concatenation of three categories: land-use potential, contribution to catchment contaminant delivery, and pressure in receiving environments (Fig.…
Technical Report
Next generation systems: a framework for prioritising innovation
There is increasing recognition that the land-based sectors will need new primary production systems to break the lock-step relationship between profitability and production, and environmental…
