Agricultural Supply Chain Input-Output Models at a Precinct Scale: Application to the Rookwood Weir in the Lower Fitzroy

About the Research Project

The project focuses on developing a precinct-scale agricultural supply chain model for the Lower Fitzroy region. By assessing economic returns and optimizing water allocation for various crops, it aims to support sustainable agricultural practices, improve regional productivity, and enhance long-term economic resilience. The model provides valuable insights for farmers and industry stakeholders, guiding more efficient resource use and informed agricultural planning.

Impact
