Program Leader: Dr Paula Jones (Cotton CRC)

Enable mutually beneficial interactions between industry and regional communities by:

Documenting the cotton industry’s contribution to the economic and social fabric of cotton growing regions
Identifying opportunities for, and assisting with the implementation of, strategies for enhancing the flexibility and resilience of cotton communities, including labour and regional business resources
Identifying ways in which the community and industry can address and contribute to future natural resource policy issues collectively in cotton catchments, including greater knowledge of the impacts that changing water allocations and natural resource management have on socio-economic issues
