Dr Anna Roberts, Senior Research Scientist, Future Farming Systems Research Division – Agricultural Resources, Victorian Government Department of Primary Industries.

Most people want to know that ‘the environment’ is being protected, including water quality, habitat, threatened species and specific environmental assets. Agricultural land management greatly affects the environment and large amounts of money are being committed to protecting aspects of the Murray–Darling Basin, Great Barrier Reef and many other areas. A focus on process, including making plans and setting targets, helps create a sense that outcomes will be achieved, but often they are not.
