Farming in the Northern Territory is notoriously challenging: it takes resilience and perseverance to battle the weather and soils.

The site aims to build greater resilience to heavy weather events and soil erosion using cover crops, strip-till, soil biology inputs and non-chemical weed control. Find out more in this article.
