Cutting edge research into our rural futures goes online at UNE

May 02, 2006

With its new website now online, the Institute for Rural Futures (IRF) at the University of New England has increased the accessibility of its groundbreaking work to those who it relates to.

“The research will be of interest to farmers, rural and coastal communities and local government. Our user-friendly website has the results of the Institute's research into the variety of combined pressures affecting change on non-metropolitan Australia,” said IRF director, Professor David Brunckhorst.

“The Institute contributes innovative and practical research, which also has direct relevance to policy and planning at all levels of Government,” he said.

“The website contains expanded content and access to a wide variety of information from past and current projects of the Institute for Rural Futures. Including for example, understanding eco-civic regions for natural resources management; farm safety, security, and rural crime prevention; collaborative environmental and resource management; farm activities via remote telemetry; farm succession issues; regional landscape management of resources across tenures; cotton community research; industrial ecosystems, biodiversity trading schemes; and understanding future scenarios of developing coastal "Sea-Change" and rural "Tree-Change" communities,” elaborated Professor Brunckhorst.

“I would strongly urge anybody in rural and regional Australia to visit www.ruralfutures.une.edu.au and see some of work being done at UNE that is of inherent importance and relevance to the non-metropolitan landscape and its' people,” he said.
