Mallee Sustainable Farming (MSF) has launched a bold new Strategic Plan to guide its next decade of research, engagement and innovation in dryland agriculture.
The organisation says the Strategic Plan 2025–2035 cements MSF’s role as a trusted enabler of farmer-led research and a driver of sustainable growth for Mallee farming communities across South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales.
Chair of MSF, Steve Burt, said the new strategy builds on over 25 years of success in transforming low rainfall farming through innovation, collaboration and community connection.
“We’ve worked closely with farmers, researchers and stakeholders to understand what they need to succeed. This plan reflects that collective insight and outlines our commitment to supporting sustainable, profitable and resilient farms and communities.”
The plan is anchored by three key objectives:
➢ Enhanced productivity and environmental outcomes
➢ Improved efficiency, cost reduction and risk mitigation
➢ Resilient and connected rural communities
A complementary Research Plan 2025–2035 has also been released, establishing clear priorities for on-farm research, peer-to-peer adoption, and innovation.
