'Rangelands Living Skin’ is a new project led by NSW Department of Primary Industries and funded by Meat & Livestock Australia, recognising the importance of productivity and resilience in our rangelands. A collaboration between producers, researchers, educators and industry, the project will create an evidence base to support local agriculture. .

One of the four core producer enterprises in the project is Bokhara Plains, managed by Graham and Cathy Finlayson (see their Soils for Life case study here bit.ly/2R3Tywp). The Finlaysons have been working on innovative rangeland practices for over 20 years, focusing on improving their ecology which is the foundation of their business. These management practices improve environmental condition, livestock productivity and business performance. Read more about the project here: soilsforlife.org.au/rangelands-living-skin/
