Adoption of New Land Management Practices through Conservation Insurance (MBI Pilot ID 8)

Authors: Julian Morrison - EconSearch Pty Ltd

The pilot project will undertake a scoping study into the innovative use of insurance as a means of supporting changes in farming practices where risk is perceived to be a major barrier to implementation. The Lower Murray region ó specifically within the northern Murray Mallee in SA will be used as a case study area. Extensively cleared land used for agriculture is thought to make a significant and growing contribution to groundwater recharge, with consequential impacts in land lost to dryland salinity and degradation of water resources.
