Project Goals

Help farmers diversify wheat-based farming systems to increase soil health, profitability and resilience, taking into account increasingly variable climates and other environmental and economic sources of change
Identify key factors that affect wheat-based systems at the landscape scale, and understand the consequences of land use change
Within wheat-based system supply chains, identify:
- Best practices to address points of intervention that are most vulnerable to anticipated precipitators of change
- Opportunities to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and other greenhouse gases, by increasing carbon sequestration and improving nutrient use efficiencies
