Farm Analysis
Farm, business and risk analysis

Drought strategy performance

  • Research on the financial performance of drought management options in    Australian farming systems

  • Whole-farm modelling tools are used to analyse drought strategies and    exceptional circumstances issues

    Impacts of government policy at the farm level

  • Tax reform, the GST and farm performance

  • Compensation payments for forest reserves on private land

    Farm forestry

  • CARE is a member of the New England Regional Plantation Committee

  • We have developed whole-farm financial models to measure forestry    investment returns (including native forest management)

  • The financial effects of stock shelter benefits from tree belts have been    modelled

  • Regional forest industry strategy development - what will work in your    region and where are the gaps?

    Financial impacts of new technologies in current farming systems

  • Analytical systems for measuring the financial outcomes of adopting new    technologies

    Vertebrate pest control DSS

  • Bioeconomic models to aid vertebrate pest control decisions - rabbits & mice

  • Optimising models to choose the best control strategies

    Opportunity identification & development

  • New farm enterprises - a process for identifying and developing new ideas

    Ecosystem Services

  • Developing bioeconomic models of farming systems to assess the financial    and biophysical impacts of managing for ecosystem services on cotton farms.    This approach explicitly recognises that there are tradeoffs in managing for    conservation on farms and is an attempt to quantify those ecological-financial    tradeoffs as well as identifying win-win situations
