\u2022 Dr Rebecca Bartley and Dr Zoe Bainbridge both presented results from their NESP TWQ Hub projects at a recent Landholders Driving Change field day in the Burdekin catchment. The field day was documented in the NQ Dry tropics publication, The Grit<\/a>, with the Landholders Driving Change project outlined here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 A TWQ Hub project has attracted further funding to develop and commercialise its world-first nitrogen fertilizer insurance product, designed to help farmers manage the risk of reduced yields from reduced fertiliser application. Innovative economic levers: a system for underwriting risk of practice change in cane-farming<\/em><\/a> recently secured a $200,000 expansion under Reef Trust Partnerships<\/a> to better understand the perceived trust in the project and how best it can be commercialised for industry, a great example of NESP research enabling new scientific an economic opportunities.
