The answer is a resounding “yes”.
As a soil scientist by training and education, I fully support all of those initiatives being undertaken by the government in Australia.
With what we've seen in Canada over the last couple of years with the living labs initiative that's been rolled out by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, and a more clear linkage between the grower community and Ag Canada researchers, and a focus on extension and BMP adoption, I think we've started down that path.
The other piece that I would mention is the new on-farm climate action fund that has been announced. There is strong support for that, where we put dollars in the hands of growers to advance the kinds of practices that Andrea and her farm team have been doing for 35 years, taking that example and supporting others to adopt those BMPs. Part of that program is focused on producer education and outreach to educate on BMPs, so yes, let's keep that going.
