Little known fact

As Cropping Systems Adviser for WA Department of Agriculture, Peter developed and implemented a ground-breaking extension project. This involved using large, farm-based demonstration sites to develop and promote reduced tillage cropping systems for the Avon region. This landmark project reduced erosion and consequent siltation of the Avon River, whilst maintaining or improving crop yields and profitability.

Clients Say...

Rob, Carmen and the team at CZM continually went beyond the call of duty. Their ongoing mentoring through the project to EMRC staff has provided staff with increased knowledge and capacity on climate change risk assessment processes that can be applied to future projects across Perth's Eastern Region.

I would highly recommend CZM.
