We received an email from Dr Rachelle Meyer from The University of Melbourne regarding some research she and her team are undertaking. The ‘Trees on Farm: Maximising Co-benefits’ project is funded by MLA and DJPR. They are developing a database of benefits and challenges of trees on farms, estimating their value to farm operations, and creating a decision framework. The aim is to enable more informed decisions around planting trees on farm.
They are looking for farmers willing to participate and be interviewed via Zoom, from across different regions. The interviews take approximately an hour. If you are interested in participating please review the below ‘Plain Language Statement’ and make contact with the researchers whose contact details can be found at the end of the statement.
