Sustainable Agriculture Program
Driving growth through innovation & climate responsive practices
The Eyre Peninsula Sustainable Agriculture Program brings together Agricultural Innovation & Research Eyre Peninsula (AIR EP), the EP Landscape Board, key researchers, industry specialists, and local organisations to deliver a coordinated, evidence-based approach to improving the productivity and resilience of farming systems across the region.
Working in partnership, the program focuses on priority soil and climate challenges affecting EP growers. Ten interconnected projects deliver targeted activities including workshops, trials, soil testing and monitoring programs, communication resources, and field demonstrations. Together, these efforts aim to strengthen local capacity, inform decision-making, and support long-term soil health and farm profitability.
