Are renewable energy projects worth it for Western Australian growers?
Watch the webinar recording to learn how renewable energy developments can be strategically integrated into farming systems.
Farmanco project manager Kelly Ryan unpacks how a Hub-supported study explored the emerging intersection of renewable energy and agriculture in Western Australia, from growing policy interest and project proposals on farms to the economic, social and environmental implications for growers and regional communities.
She shares how the project team approached analysing opportunities and barriers, the key insights and challenges identified in engaging stakeholders, and what this means for growers considering renewable energy options.
This project is supported by the South-West WA Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub through funding from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund.
