Knowledge Hub

The ‘Risk/Reward Tool – Writing Guiding and User Documentation’ was developed to support agricultural industry project and extension officers in improving the accessibility of information provided to farmers when they are deciding on adopting a new farming practice or technology. The package consists of a user guide, report templates, and case study examples of the three tools developed as part of the Soil CRC project 1.4.005. Read the guide.
