What we will cover

• The significant influence of the landscape on water quality outcomes
• The opportunities for both environmental improvement and production gains when using high resolution radiometric survey information and soil mapping in lowland and hill country settings

Explore the significant influence of the landscape when it comes to both environmental outcomes and production opportunities. The same factors that cause environmental degradation are often the same factors that limit yield or production. During this webinar we will look at case study examples of lowland and hill country areas that have utilised high resolution radiometric survey data to identify their strengths and weaknesses, prioritise where investments to mitigate environmental impacts will be most effective, and to identify where and how improvements in production can be achieved.
