About this listen

Welcome to Melbourne Water’s Podcast Ag-Resilience. This series will provide information and conversation for farmers as the industry tackles some very big environmental and economic challenges. As agriculture peruses ambitious carbon neutral targets, we can also aspire towards a 2050 future that might be carbon and nature positive. But what do these terms mean? How does the agriculture sector make sense of all the emerging information and find the positive in carbon and nature positive? In this first season we will open up conversations with researchers and seek science based information that sets the scene for a thriving 2050 carbon and nature positive industry in the Port Phillip and Western Port catchment.

  • Ecosystem Services of Birds on Farms

    Ecosystem Services of Birds on Farms
    Oct 12 2023

    Research shows the evidence that ground foraging insectivorous birds provide invertebrate pest control and increase pasture biomass as a result of this ecosystem service in the presence of native vegetation and scattered paddock trees.

    Listen in to hear the results from this research project.

  • Understanding farm dam emissions and taking action to turn pollution into a solution

    Understanding farm dam emissions and taking action to turn pollution into a solution
    Oct 12 2023

    Research from Blue carbon Lab has highlighted some surprising farm dam data that shows the magnitude of farm dam emissions. With millions of farm dams across Australia, these well managed farm dams will create productivity and biodiversity benefits and change these systems from a source of pollution to becoming part of the solution.
