The project had a particular focus on the role of perennial options in achieving these objectives.<\/p>\n<p>EverCrop was established by the CRC Future Farm Industries with funding from GRDC as a multidisciplinary research and development project that works with farmers to develop new and more adoptable grazing options to benefit grain growers in the Southern and Western GRDC region. It utilised a successful participatory farming systems research approach that was established through nodes in WA, NSW and SA-Vic, and expanded activities to new agro-ecological zones including the Northern GRDC region.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0Outcomes<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Improved mixed farming systems: Evaluating and developing new or modified mixed farming options in key agro-climatic zones that improve profit, diversify enterprises and provide positive environmental impacts through the incorporation of new grazing options including perennials<\/li>\n<li>Well-developed value propositions for new options \u2013 Developing ways to overcome constraints to the adoption of grazing options in cropping-oriented systems by documenting the costs and benefits of particular uses of perennials and other options in mixed farming systems relative to alternatives.<\/li>\n<li>Greater decision and analysis capacity \u2013 Adapt and apply cropping systems analysis tools and approaches that allow farmers and agribusiness to evaluate the role and implementation of perennials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>An overview of EverCrop and a collection of research papers can be found in the special issue of Crop &amp; Pasture Science found here: <a href=\"https:\/\/connectsci.au\/cp\/issue\/65\/10\">https:\/\/connectsci.au\/cp\/issue\/65\/10<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The final report for EverCrop phase II is here: <a href=\"https:\/\/grdc.com.au\/research\/reports\/report?id=6274\">https:\/\/grdc.com.au\/research\/reports\/report?id=6274<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EverCrop EverCrop projects ran from 2008 to 2014 with the objective of increasing the adoption of mixed-farming options that improve [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":-100,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"nba-redirect":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.csiro.au\/evercrop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.csiro.au\/evercrop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.csiro.au\/evercrop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.csiro.au\/evercrop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.csiro.au\/evercrop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/wp.csiro.au\/evercrop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":379,"href":"https:\/\/wp.csiro.au\/evercrop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4\/revisions\/379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.csiro.au\/evercrop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
