A lifetime of learning leads to a lofty goal
A team of scientists and researchers, being led by the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture’s (TIA) Associate Professor Matthew Harrison are attempting to solve one of the most important issues facing humanity in the 21st century: reducing global greenhouse gas emissions in a sustainable way.
Associate Professor Harrison is the Director of the Carbon Storage Partnership, a multi-million-dollar transdisciplinary initiative that is developing environmentally contextualised and socially acceptable pathways aimed at progressing the Australian livestock sector to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
As improvement of economic growth and farm business profitability is a critical part of this endeavour, his team often examines multi-disciplinary outcomes of changes to agricultural systems.
“Much of the work we do – for farmers, government, industry, and academia – now focuses on the development of new practices, technologies, and skills to reduce greenhouse gas emissions sustainably and profitably,” Associate Professor Matthew Harrison said.
“The transdisciplinary nature of our work is critical here.
“We could (for example) put a deep, swift cut in greenhouse gas emissions by removing all ruminant-based livestock from the planet, but this would neither be profitable (as farms are businesses) nor conducive to effective land management (livestock primarily graze lands unsuitable for cropping), nor lead to a secure food future, for livestock products contribute a large proportion of the protein requirements of contemporary society in developed nations.”
“It is crucial that (at least) economic, environmental, social, and biophysical changes caused by a proposed adaptation or mitigation opportunity are examined simultaneously,” Associate Professor Harrison said.
“If they are not, positive change in one dimension could easily lead to maladaptation in another.”
Integrated solutions were proposed in the Carbon Storage Partnership’s foundational paper: Carbon Myopia: The urgent need for integrated social, economic and environmental action in the livestock sector
Associate Professor Harrison has a passion for mathematics, climatology, agriculture, and participatory learning, and he has used these disciplines to study how multiple pieces fit together into a holistic system.
After gaining bachelor’s degrees in civil engineering, Applied Science (Biotechnology) and Plant Science, he put them all together in a PhD conducted at the CSIRO in Canberra, Australia, where he conducted field experiments on “dual-purpose” crops; crops that can be used for both animal forage and grain production.
“The unknown at the time was the extent to which these crops could be defoliated by livestock before impacting on ultimate grain yield at the end of the season,” Associate Professor Harrison said.
“I constructed one of the first ever biophysical models of sheep grazing of wheat based on my field experiments.
“This model showed that grazing reduced crop development, reduced crop evapotranspiration and, in dry seasons, this could preserve deep soil moisture and even lead to improved grain yields compared with ungrazed crops.
“Since I completed my PhD, research into dual-purpose crops has taken off, as they are suitable in many regions of the world, provide both animal forage and grain, and allow use of one field by multiple enterprises simultaneously.”
Now, as the Director of the Carbon Storage Partnership, as well as Systems Modelling Team Leader at TIA, Associate Professor Harrison hopes his research can address the reduction of farm-level Greenhouse Gas emissions (GHG) both sustainably and profitably; decouple productivity and GHG emissions; introduce agronomic adaptations for improving resource-use efficiency.
“Farmers and advisors use the apps we have created, for example WaterCan Profit (www.watercanprofit.com.au).
“Government and institutions have developed carbon trading instruments based on the fundamental science and advice my team has provided.
“And banks and insurance agencies are using methods we have created for forecasting the impacts of extreme weather events as risk management approaches for insurance and lending.
“Farmers and consultants have based practice changes to their farm system following recommendations from his team.”
In January 2023, his team published original research in the prestigious journal, Nature Communications.
In this manuscript, they developed a new paradigm for aggregating thousands of crop model simulations into discrete but physiology-meaningful groups. And they examined global implications of how changes in the climate crisis may impact on future extreme events and how crop waterlogging risk may change.
“We also revealed a ‘silver lining’ to the climate crisis, in that there will be multiple avenues for adapting crop management to waterlogging risk under future climates,” Associate Professor Harrison said.
Now, a lot of Associate Professor Harrison’s time is consumed by leading the Carbon Storage Partnership, which is part of Meat & Livestock Australia’s ‘CN30’ Initiative, which aims at producing a carbon neutral livestock sector by 2030.
The role requires him to focus on governance, risk management, operational and strategic leadership, and delivering tangible scientific outcomes, while steering diverse research teams towards a common goal.
“Being a scientist is not just about science. Science is about leadership, collaboration and working in a people-centric way, with close attention to inclusivity and equality.
“I enjoy leading large groups of people towards a central vision, delivering milestones, innovation, education, teaching, mentoring and supervision.”
The CN30 project’s monitoring and evaluation indicates that more than 12,300 people have directly engaged with staff within the Carbon Storage Partnership to date (February 2023).
“This has already had beneficial impact on the community through improved environmental stewardship, improved understanding of carbon emissions and markets, and empowered end-users who are more likely to action changes that reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in a profitable, sustainable way, without impacting on productivity and food security.”
Associate Professor Matthew Harrison is an award-winning scientist based at the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture in Launceston, Australia. Matt is internationally renowned for his work in improving the sustainability of agricultural and land-use systems through innovative economic, environmental and social solutions to demand-driven problems. His team uses systems thinking to develop skills, technologies and practices aimed at improving food production, enterprise profitability, social licence to operate and long-term agri-food sustainability. The impact of his work on carbon removals, greenhouse gas emissions, the climate crisis and food security will have enduring benefits for decades to come.
Matt is the Director of the Carbon Storage Partnership, a multi-million-dollar transdisciplinary initiative that is developing environmentally-contextualised and socially-acceptable pathways aimed at profitably progressing the entire Australia livestock sector to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
Matt has long engendered a culture of research excellence, as shown by his mentoring and supervision of colleagues, his training of the next generation of scientists, and his inclusive approach to leading diverse teams of people. He has supervised numerous Honours, Masters and PhD scholars through to successful completion, and he welcomes enquiries relating to research supervision or collaboration. As an egalitarian, he regularly advocates for social equality of people he works with.
The knowledge, skills and technologies developed by Matt and his co-workers have contributed significantly to the University of Tasmania's 'well-above world standard' Excellence in Research Australia (ERA) rankings in 'Agriculture, Land and Farm Management' and 'Crop and Pasture Production'.
Biography
After completing undergraduate degrees in Applied Science, Plant Science (Hons) and Civil Engineering (Hons), Matt conducted a PhD with the Australian National University while based at the Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in Canberra, Australia.
From 2009, he conducted post-doctoral fellowships at the CSIRO in Canberra, Australia, working with various stakeholders to develop fit-for-purpose, legitimate and sustainable livestock production systems. Matt later worked at the ‘Institut Nationale de la Recherche Agronomique’ (INRA) in Montpellier, France, and during this period he spent extensive time at Pioneer Hi-Bred International in Des Moines, USA, and the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia.
Since completing his undergraduate degrees, Matt worked with- and was tutored by preeminent scientists in crop breeding, systems modelling, agronomy, computer-, plant- and animal-science. His post-doctoral research integrated the physics, maths and computer science from his engineering background into agricultural science. It was truly a multi-disciplinary training pathway.
Matt joined the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture in 2012 at the Cradle Coast Campus in Burnie, Australia. In 2022, he relocated to Launceston in support of the University’s strategic plan to grow a critical mass of world-class plant scientists in the north of the State.

Expertise
Matt has more than 25 years experience as a farming systems scientist. His work spans multiple levels, from the microbiological scale (for example, development of approaches to subdue bugs in livestock stomachs that produce methane), to the field scale (for example, more effective use of grazing, irrigation and fertilization to reduce nitrogen leaching into soils and improve soil carbon sequestration) to the planetary scale (for example, how increased greenhouse gas emissions may influence global warming, the climate, and impacts of extreme weather events).
This work underpins Commonwealth Government and the University of Tasmania’s strategic priorities in climate change adaptation and greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, together building Tasmania’s strengths in Science, Technology, Education and Mathematics (STEM). Matt promulgates the notion that - given the vital importance of agriculture to the Australian and Tasmanian economies - STEM may be more appropriately recognised as ‘STEAM’, the ‘A’ representing Agriculture.
Matt has a central interest in developing solutions that are sustainable in multiple dimensions, for example, adaptations to climate change that not only allow greater food production, but are profitable, socially-acceptable and environmentally congruent.
Much of the work he leads is conducted in participation with stakeholders (for example, farmers, natural resource management, government, banks and research development corporations) to ensure that the practices, skills and/or technologies his team develops are demand-driven and credible. For instance, his work with livestock producers showed that breeds of sheep capable of giving birth to twins or triplets generally led to greater annual animal production, improved profit, and lower greenhouse gas emissions intensity compared with ewes with a propensity to give birth to single lambs.
Collaboration
Matt’s team collaborates widely and inclusively within academia (‘interdisciplinary’ research) and across institutions (‘transdisciplinary’ research, development and extension). In line with the University’s strategic priorities, he inclusively works with colleagues of diverse strengths to enable research excellence that benefits Tasmania while contributing meaningfully to global priorities in areas of distinctive advantage. As an egalitarian, Matt advocates for social equality of people he works with.
Some of his current projects include farmers, agri-business, natural resource management (NRM) agencies, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, research institutions including universities and the CSIRO, state and federal government and banks. This collaboration has led to (for example) decision-support tools to improve the timeliness of farm management and profitability (e.g. watercanprofit.com.au).
Matt has established and sustained many enduring national and international collaborative research partnerships. For example, he engendered lasting collaborations between UTAS and other international organisations through many Agricultural Modelling Intercomparison Projects (AgMIP). Collectively these efforts have involved >54 organisations across 29 countries.

On-farm adoption of low emissions feed technologies for improved profitability of the Tasmanian livestock sector (2022 - 2024)$487,018
- Description
- Livestock represent over 70% of Tasmania's agricultural value but also dominate the State's agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. Tasmanian livestock emissions have changed little since the 1990s, signifying an urgent need for productive, profitable pathways for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Red algae (produced in Tasmania by SeaForest) offers significant and cost-effective opportunities to mitigate enteric GHG emissions, but delivery options for grassfed livestock at scale are lacking. Through on-farm participation with numerous Tasmanian livestock producers, this project will assess the novel combination of red algae with biochar as a practical solution for Tasmanian livestock producers under commercial conditions. Biochar offers a unique delivery pathway for red algae but also may pass through the animal and contribute to improved soil carbon. Through multiple on-farm experiments, this project will assess emissions, profitability and practical issues associated with adoption of novel GHG emissions abatement options. The proposal is part of the competitive Agricultural Development Fund: https://dpipwe.tas.gov.au/agriculture/government-and-community-programs/agricultural-development-fund

Agricultural Innovation Hubs Program (2022 - 2023)$2,499,999
- Description
- The University of Tasmania hosts one of eight Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hubs established across Australia under the Commonwealth's Future Drought Fund. Hubs are intended to be enduring institutions. The current proposal is about the Commonwealth's call to expand the Hubs' remit to service four priority areas under the National Agricultural Innovation Agenda. If funded, the Hub in Tasmania will need to operate under two agreements: the current agreement for the 'Drought Hub' and a new agreement that is about developing the Hub's pathway to expansion, while continuing to deliver to the 'Drought Hub' under the current agreement. This proposal presents the Hub's Statement of Claims on its ability and commitment to deliver practical activities and a business case that supports the National Agricultural Innovation Agenda

Drought decision-support using the Farming Forecaster in Tasmania (2022 - 2024)$308,000
- Description
- Building on adoption workshops with farmers in NSW, Victoria and a pilot study underway in Tasmania, this project will drive adoption of drought resilience skills and technology through the broader rollout of the Farming Forecaster decision support tool in drought-affected regions of Tasmania. Through professionally guided learning, we will train farmers to use the platform, understand seasonal climate outputs and expand our established community of practice to include additional farmer regions. The project will pursue close working relationships with industry groups to understand local pressures and deliver innovative improvements to the Farming Forecaster platform through place-based co-development of Tasmanian-relevant scenarios, novel pasture types, whole farm management and feed quality data. The project includes ground truthing data through nutritive assays and quantification of seasonal trends in soil moisture to advance the quality of information available to inform livestock, carbon and feed management decisions. Examining alternative management and business alternatives using the Farming Forecaster will provide insight into demand-driven options most amenable to drought adaptation.

Regenerative grazing trail & dryland pasture monitoring from satellite, via calibration to field observations & biomass measurements, to improve rotational grazing & stocking decision making (2021)$194,375
- Description
- Remote sensing informed pasture production, such as biomass and productivity has been mostly considered optical systems (MODIS, LANDSAT, SENTINEL). Available Decision Support System (DSS) are also using the optical source to measure pasture ground cover. Some of these are helping in decision support by providing biomass estimation (both real-time and predictive). However, the practicability of use of such DSS required further investigation using field observation and biomass measurements. Recent studies explored the prospects of SAR data and showed potential benefits due to the free access of high-resolution SAR time series data form Sentinel-1 with no cloud constrain. In addition to that, the use of hyperspectral data is most certainly increasing as there are various hyperspectral sensors launched, such as EnMap and HyMap. Hyperspectral camera mounted Unmanned Arial Vehicle (UAV) system also offers a good and reliable source of hyperspectral data. However, research on production traits or management with a clear focus on pasture using spaceborne or UAV based hyperspectral data are rare. There are some explorative studies, like investigating the performance of Hyperion data within a biomass model based on spectroradiometer data and biomass samples or testing emulated spaceborne sensor data. In contrast to space-borne data, multiple studies are using airborne hyperspectral data to retrieve biophysical variables of grasslands. In addition to multispectral and SAR, the exploitation of UAV hyperspectral data indicates a key gap and forms a promising research opportunity to improve practices of pasture management at paddock level. Such practices will add a value for the land holders and community to advance natural resource management. The outcome may also help to see the differences in grazing trial to understand the feasibility of regenerative agriculture implementation in Tasmania's grassland

Sustainable pathways to CN30 (2021 - 2026)$4,185,917
- Description
- Background: The CN30 Pathways Consortium is a coordinated, multi-party, multidisciplinary national collaborative effort designed to explore biophysical, economic, environmental and social pathways to a carbon neutral red meat sector by 2030. CN30 Pathways foci include carbon storage and sequestration, integrated management systems and leadership building to support growth in capacity and competency among individuals and organisations.Products: Through application of self-contained, nationally-distributed scalable Modules for research, development, extension, adoption and commercialisation (RDEA&C), the Consortium will develop Products including knowledge and practices required for (1) enhancing soil C and woody biomass sequestration through improved grazing management, (2) improving the accuracy and reducing the cost of measuring soil C on grazing lands, (3) restoring environmental stewardship through activities such as planting of trees, shelter belts and perennial legumes, (4) quantifying and enhancing on-farm natural capital and biodiversity, enabling co-benefits for livestock productivity, (5) establishing trade-offs between GHG emissions, carbon sequestration, profitability, liveweight and timber productivity in silvopastoral systems (SPS), and (6) determining the impacts of future climates including extreme events on pasture production, soil C and GHG emissions. One of the seven consortium Modules will be led by UTAS.Extension and adoption: Extension will be conducted across at least ten agro-ecological regions representing the majority of the national herd and flock through facilitated workshops, face-to-face training and industry publications to ensure international peer-review, scientific credibility, industry confidence in project outcomes and public recognition of CN30 research conducted by the Consortium. A series of adoption packages with practical steps to simplify user uptake will be developed and conducted to ensure research products achieve impact. Uptake of Consortium Products will be measured through a dedicated self-contained monitoring and evaluation program.Leadership and governance: The Consortium governance structure includes a Steering Committee (SC) for guidance and oversight, and a Consortium Leadership Group (CLG) responsible for implementation of component Modules, sharing project information across activities and for review of project progress, milestones and outcomes. Outcomes and impact: Key outcomes include improvement and implementation of management approaches and technologies for increasing soil C, woody biomass and biodiversity on farm across Australia, enhanced sustainability and animal welfare through environmental stewardship, greater understanding of the co-benefits of trees and shelter-belts on farm, advanced, low-cost scientific measurement and modelling approaches for GHG emissions mitigation through soil or woody C quantification, emissions mitigation or whole of farm system effects, predictions of pasture production and net farm emissions under future climates and a series of practical packages facilitating adoption by the industry. Collectively, these outcomes will maintain or increase profitability and sustainability while moving the industry towards net zero GHG emissions.

NEXUS project part 2: involve and partner activities (2021 - 2023)$332,470
- Description
- This project is a mandatory part of the Livestock Productivity Partnership's NEXUS project. Background: The NEXUS project will investigate future integrated grazing system designs using a collaboration of partners in the Livestock Productivity Partnership (LPP). Outcomes from the project will form the basis for future R&D priorities in grazing systems along the entire east coast of Australia for MLA, SAMRC and NABRC. The project will identify a range of options for future grazing systems that will:-Deliver up to 3% return on assets for a range of grazing systems in Tasmania-Be conducted in the context of significant known and predicted changes to climate parameters including temperature, rainfall and frost (including emerging new patterns and the incidence of extreme events)-Examine the opportunity to diversify income from carbon mitigation projects under the Emissions Reduction Fund using new grasses or legumes, new supplements, and the integration of grazing management within carbon projects-Examine the opportunity to diversify income and integrate into grazing or carbon management the emerging market for eco-credits -Facilitate investment for their effectiveness as adaptation options using a number of metrics, including farm scale production, profitability, economic risk, farm-scale greenhouse gas emissions and the ease of implementation.The current project:A mandatory milestone for the NEXUS project is the development of a strategy and protocol for commencing 'Involve and Partner' activity/ies complete. To include a funding budget developed with the MLA Project Lead and Adoption Team.This part of the project is focussed on extension activities, and the translation of modelling in NEXUS to end user adoption and impact. The NEXUS project cannot proceed without having the 'involve and partner' part of the project co-funded by TIA. Importantly, this part of the project will be where the impact - and benefit for Tasmanian farmers - is gained; it is the pathway to adoption. The methods outlined below have been developed in response to feedback from MLA.Project staff will partner with leading red meat farmers who will be resourced to implement farm system practice change. Each Involve and Partner Farm (IPF) producer will also host a discussion group facilitated by the project. The three discussion groups will focus on the IPF practice changes being tested, and will explore the wider range of prospective adaptations from the NEXUS project in terms of productivity, profitability and emissions mitigation. The development of viable implementation pathways for prospective adaptations will be a feature of the discussion group activities. IPF hosts will be industry innovators and early adopters, with preceding interviews confirming that they are willing to implement a selected practice change. TIA will form, coordinate and facilitate the discussion groups associated with the three IPF's in late 2021. Discussion groups will comprise neighbouring farms and those within the IPF hosts' existing social network. Establishing adaptation discussion groups will provide the consistent interaction between peers (and invited researchers) over time that supports learning, relationship building and working through the practicalities of implementing research outcomes in a real farm context.

NEXUS project: exploring profitable, sustainable livestock businesses in an increasingly variable climate (2020 - 2023)$1,310,728
- Description
- This is a collaborative project that will investigate future integrated grazing system designs using a collaboration from three new partners to the LPP. It also offers the opportunity for collaboration and linkage with existing LPP partners. The outcomes will form the basis for future R&D priorities in grazing systems along the entire east coast of Australia for LPP, MLA, SAMRC and NABRC. The project will directly contribute to the planning and implementation of the MLA and industry driven CN30 initiative and the RMAC Sustainability Framework. The project will identify a range of options for future grazing systems that:-will identify ways to deliver up to 3% ROA for a range of grazing systems in Tasmania, Gippsland, NWQld and the Northern Territory with methodology linkages to the MLA funded project investigating farming system options in NVic, NNSW and Central Qld and work being conducted by the NSW DPI Climate Group.-will be conducted in the context of significant known and predicted changes to climate parameters including temperature, rainfall and frost (including emerging new patterns and the incidence of extreme events)-examine the opportunity to diversify income from carbon mitigation projects under the Emissions Reduction Fund using new grasses or legumes, new supplements, and the integration of grazing management within carbon projects-examine the opportunity to diversify income and integrate into grazing or carbon management the emerging market for eco credits -will be developed using reference groups from the relevant SAMRC and NABRC regional committees and regional consultants to advise on system options-are assessed for their effectiveness as adaptation options using a number of metrics, including farm scale production, profitability, economic risk, farm-scale greenhouse gas emissions and the ease of implementation.The work in Tasmania will first calibrate systems models using existing management of representative sheep and beef farms in Tasmania. The number and location of case study farms will be conducted in consultation with SAMRC committee members. Model files calibrated based on grower/industry feedback will then be used to explore adaptations for each farm. Adaptations (hereafter, 'development options') will be selected in consultation with the SAMRC committee and may include changes to pasture base, animal genotype and/or management (hereafter termed 'development options'). Development options in each region will be defined by a panel of producers to ensure they are regionally relevant. Examples of development options to be investigated could include: pasture (e.g. property scale integration of forage options, both existing and currently being investigated in feedbase research), animal (e.g. increased heat tolerance), management (e.g. integration of trees, increased livestock/live-weight throughput, optimising lifetime feed-use efficiency and selling strategies) and technology (e.g. virtual fencing). Following the approach conducted by the Uni Melb CC project, each development option will be evaluated in terms of profit targets, economic risk and farm-level greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensity. The case study farm and development options will be analysed in historical and future climate scenarios based on projections for 2030.

Evaluation of the susceptibility of Tasmania's agricultural sector to insect pest species under a changing climate (2020 - 2021)$49,744
- Description
- Tasmania is often referred to as a future breadbasket of the country, and extensive investment is planned to take advantage of the warmer climate (West 2009). However, warmer conditions increase the potential for new pest species to establish permanent populations in Tasmania. Until recently, species introduced from warmer regions have been constrained by growing seasons that are too short, or winters that are too cold. This is changing. Not only are new pest species likely to establish under future climate conditions, but the activity and impact of existing pests may also increase, as population growth rates rise and higher survival and development rates lead to an increased number of generations per year. With more intensive irrigation and agriculture planned, across more diverse crops, the risk is further increased. This potential for increased risk has not yet been systematically studied.Using the most up-to-date, fine resolution climate projections available in Australia, this project will identify species that may become commercially important agricultural pests in Tasmania under a changing climate. It will extend previous research (e.g. Holz et al. 2010, Sultana et al. 2017) on future changes to the distribution of the Queensland Fruit Fly, to incorporate lifecycle information at a fine spatial and temporal resolution and to investigate changes in growth and number of generations on seasonal and inter-annual timescales. The improved precision of the downscaled simulations will allow policy makers to be more strategic in their planning of surveillance networks and in the design of pest management strategies for the future. The results from this case study will be used to develop a methodology for assessing changing pest risk, to communicate the potential for change to occur over the next decades and engage industry stakeholders in ongoing research. Project outcomes will include a comprehensive list of species considered to be of high risk to the agricultural industry in Tasmania, based on industry engagement, existing data, and an assessment of life history traits and current distribution. This research will provide essential information about the susceptibility of Tasmania's agricultural sector to insect pest species now and in the future. This will improve our preparedness for change and ability to maintain pest-free status; facilitate more informed trading arrangements (e.g., winter window arrangements); and enhance the capacity of the Tasmanian government and industry to manage the risks posed by insect pest species currently arriving in Tasmania and to proactively and strategically plan for future biosecurity risks.

Optimising farm scale returns from irrigated grains: maximising dollar return per megalitre of water (2019 - 2023)$760,225
- Description
- Irrigated cropping is an important component of Tasmania's 2050 AgriGrowth Vision. In other states, irrigated cropping is prominent in the Murrumbidgee and Murray valleys of southern NSW, the Murray valley of northern Victoria and south-east South Australia and the SA / Victorian Mallee. Recent changes have challenged the profitability of these irrigated cropping systems. This includes a three to four fold increase in water costs; an increased focus on winter crop production systems that complement summer cropping programs, and new irrigation layouts and technologies to accommodate a diverse range of winter and summer cropping options. The substantial increase in water values means crop selection, crop management and quantity of irrigation water applied to crops significantly effects gross margins.Significant gaps in knowledge exist regarding the true economically attainable yield potential of winter and summer grain crops in an environment where water supply can be manipulated to realise yields not possible in traditionally dryland production systems. In addition, information and knowledge is lacking regarding the most appropriate agronomic practices to deploy to realise the genetic potential of commercially available germplasm to maximise profit where water is no-longer the limiting factor. Growers can modify crop selection for irrigation layout and soil type; schedule irrigation according to target yield; and deploy crop agronomy practices based on existing data and knowledge. However, the practices developed initially for dryland systems require adaptation and validation to maximise the economic return or $/ML of water.This investment is one of four that will provide irrigated grain growers with the knowledge, confidence and tools to adopt management strategies which optimise return on investment ($/ML). As such, the project will operate closely with the three other GRDC tenders throughout the life of the project, particularly the action-learning groups. The action learning groups will consist of eight teams of farmers and advisors spread across the irrigated cropping zones in SE Australia and will provide a conduit of information to/from the current project.The primary aim of the present tender is to develop an economic decision support tool. This work will use an existing irrigation optimiser developed by UQ and other partners from past GRDC investment. TIA will lead the project.

Remote sensing informed sheep grazing of improved pastures, and integrated management, to assist Lowland Themeda Grassland and Woodland regeneration at Okehampton (2019)$99,500
- Description
- This project will focus on improving timing of rotational sheep grazing with a focus on pasture composition, biomass, and leaf emergence is now well established as being able to improve non-native Phalaris pasture utilization and productivity by ~20% over set grazing. Sheep will selectively graze the most palatable plants first within any given area, and as such can be moved on before Phalaris pastures are damaged and grazing pressure shifts to unfenced bush remnants containing threatened vegetation communities. Remote sensing can enable offsite monitoring of grazing pressure on improved and native pasture and thus improve management efficiencies. Remote sensing can help inform of preferred times for rotational grazing, as both under- and over-utilization penalizes livestock productivity, is detrimental to the environment and inhibits vegetation recovery post grazing. Integrated management through good rotational grazing, fencing, woody weed removal and indigenous cultural informed burning can improve the condition of adjoining EPBC listed threatened lowland Themeda grasslands & woodlands, the timing of this improvement will be indicated by project monitoring. The outcomes will improve grassy vegetation cover and increase resilience from climate change induced high intensity rainfall and runoff causing soil erosion. The proposal provides a beneficial demonstration of an integrated approach to non-native pasture and native grassland management in areas where remnant native vegetation has become highly fragmented due to past land clearing or native grassland to pasture conversion.The project will be led by Rockpool Land & Water Services Pty Ltd under which TIA will be subcontracted.

Mapping pasture biomass from satellite imagery with machine learning (2018)$10,000
- Description
- Effective dairy farm management requires regular estimates of paddock-level biomass. Livestock movements and hay cutting also necessitate timely, decisive management to maintain pasture biomass at levels optimal for grass quality and growth rates, since home-grown pasture is one of the cheapest forms of feed. Manual measurements of pasture biomass are time consuming and subject to sampling error, and cannot characterise entire paddocks. The recent launch of a new satellite constellation has provided a unique big-data opportunity for remote modelling of whole-farm pasture biomass at a previously unattainable spatial resolution of 3 x 3 metres, on a daily temporal scale. High resolution of both spatial and temporal data is essential to enable accurate characterisation of changes in pasture biomass on a timely basis in order to maximise pasture utilisation per unit farm area. Heretofore, such spatial and temporal resolution has not been achievable due to constraints in satellite spectroscopy. Further, previous attempts to regress NDVI with actual pasture biomass have not demonstrated reliable predictive capability beyond farms on which they have been trained, and consequently perform poorly on paddocks containing irregular topography, water bodies and trees. Two major reasons for poor predictive performance have been the quality of satellite data and the structural inadequacies of regression models used to capture fine-scale spatial variability of vegetative growth.

Manipulating barley phenology to maximise yield potential (2018 - 2019)$113,366
- Description
- Barley growing areas across Australia is so heterogeneous that environmental factors vary from one region to another. In addition, high levels of inter- and intra-seasonal rainfall variability cause large fluctuations in yield and grain quality. Barley cultivars often vary in their adaptation and thus yield potential under various environments. The time of flowering (awn appearance) is known to be the single most important trait that determines adaptation and yield of major cereals, including barley, to such variable environments. Barley genotypes vary genetically for the period they require from planting to flowering and maturity. Genes that underlie variation in phase development and flowering behaviour (phenology) have been, and will continue to be, critical for adapting barley varieties to different climates and diverse growing regions. Achieving the highest possible yields and the best quality requires growing barley cultivar that coincide its flowering and grain production period with optimal seasonal conditions.The flowering time is defined by the photoperiod (PPd), vernalisation (Vrn) and earliness per se (Eps) genes and their interactions with environmental factors. Several PPd, Vrn and Eps genes have been identified and various allelic forms of these genes have been discovered. Development of the next generation sequencing technology and completion of the barley genome sequence have provided more efficient tools to identify new genes and alleles for phenology. However, breeders and pre-breeders cannot currently utilise latest discoveries in diversity of the genes that control phenology as there is no field performance/ validation data to guide strategic breeding for specific adaption. The Australian barley breeding programs have made significant progress in development of the new barley varieties in the last few years. Hindmarsh, La trobe, Compass, Granger and Commander have demonstrated high yield and yield stability in the barley NVT trials. However, no information of the phenology alleles and allele combinations are available to understand the best combinations for the known environment groups (clusters) in these varieties. Thus, breeding programs currently have inefficient selection processes as large numbers of progeny are culled due to incorrect phenology which is reducing yield gain rates. In addition, pre-breeders need a better understanding of barley phenology so as to provide pre-breeding materials with more repeatable responses to environmental changes and to quantify the value of novel phenology traits in barley by simulating effects of allele combinations and sowing date on barley yield across diverse environment types using the crop simulation framework Agricultural Production Systems Simulator (APSIM). This tender compromises innovative approach to develop germplasm, allele-specific molecular markers and simulate modelling for breeding specifically adapted barley cultivars with high grain yield and quality through manipulation of phenology genes. The proposed research recognises the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and brings together barley pre-breeders, molecular geneticist, plant physiologist, agronomist, biometrician and barley breeder from Department of Food and Agriculture of Western Australia (DAFWA), the University of Western Australia (UWA), University of Tasmania (UTAS), Murdoch University (MU) and Australian Grain Technology (AGT) to produce industry relevant outcomes.1. By 2017, Australian barley breeders have access to accurate information regarding the combination of VRN, PPD and EPS genes that maximise yield potential in defined environments in each region and are using this information to design specific flowering ideotypes for different barley production environments. 2. By 2023, Growers in primary barley production regions have access to barley cultivars with a minimum of 12% higher yield than current dominant regional elite varieties (Hindmarsh, Buloke, Baudin

LiveGAPS 2 Understanding livestock yield gaps for poverty alleviation, food security and sustainability (2017 - 2019)$119,004
- Description
- The productivity of livestock in the developing world is low, relative to its potential. There are significant opportunities to increase it via adequate mixtures of technologies, policies and investments in farms and product value chains. However, until recently, the baseline data needed to adequately characterize livestock productivity levels in different parts of the developing world was either not available, or not at a level of disaggregation necessary to make informed decisions on the upscaling potential of key interventions and their impacts on productivity and household nutrition and income. This is quickly changing due to new data sources but there is a significant need to study and synthesize the potential for productivity increases in smallholders systems for improved programmatic decision making and for targeting poverty and food security strategies.The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and other donors and development agencies need to target investments in the livestock sector in ways that are likely to maximize the impacts for broad numbers of producers and consumers. Estimating and understanding how to measure and trigger productivity changes in livestock systems is essential for better defining the technological and investment needs in the livestock sector. Estimates of livestock yield gaps are not available and these are necessary for developing feasible scenarios of how the production of different livestock commodities might evolve in the future, how systems might change and what would be the resource use implications and their costs, both for donors and for public and private entities in target countries. Productivity and yield gap analyses will also help define the most appropriate technology entry points for different livestock species: health, nutrition, genetics, policy levers, others. This information will contribute to making informed investment decisions and target technologies in the livestock sectors of developing countries as part of the SEBI grant coordinated by the University of Edinburgh on behalf of the BMGF.

Research Supervision
Matt has extensive experience in staff and student supervision and research theses examination. He has supervised broad disciplinary range of Honours, Masters and PhD scholars to successful completion. These projects have been co-supervised from staff in the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture, the Tasmanian School of Business and Economics, the School of Engineering, University College and the Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS). For example, Matt is currently working with the School of Engineering to examine the impacts of solar panels on farm ('agrivoltaics') on greenhouse gas emissions, including potential co-benefits or trade-offs for crop and animal production.
Matt welcomes enquiries for research supervision of all kinds. Please send him an email if you are interested in undertaking a project (supervision, collaboration or other) relating to any of his interest areas, particularly that relating to carbon, greenhouse gas emissions, the climate crisis, climate change adaptation, food production and security, biodiversity, environmental stewardship or sustainability.
