    Measuring the profitability and environmental implications when growers transition to best management practices : final report 2014/015
    (Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2018) Connolly, C; Renouf, M; Poggio, M; Thompson, M
    The development of sugarcane Best Management Practices (BMPs) aims to improve the productivity, profitability and sustainability of sugarcane farms. However, there has been limited research that has examined both the economic and environmental implications of BMP adoption on commercial farms in Australia. To alleviate this problem, this project has undertaken a literature review and six case studies on commercial farms in the Wet Tropics analysing the farm profitability and life cycle environmental implications of BMP adoption. After completion, case studies were distributed and extension materials were presented to industry.
