Supporting sustainable primary production

Sustainable agriculture industry support

The Hills and Fleurieu Landscape Board acknowledges the strong links which exist between healthy functioning ecosystems and sustainable primary production. The maintenance of both is fundamental to social, environmental and economic well-being.

With much of the region’s land use attributed to primary production, farming represents a critical sector when addressing the management of natural resource issues and strategic investment for productive and environmental outcomes.
