Productivity Commission Submission

In 2008, the Productivity Commission commenced an inquiry into government drought support programs and their effectiveness in supporting farmers. Productive Nutrition completed a submission making the following recommendations regarding these programs:

1. Encourage and provide assistance for self reliant approaches for managing a changing climate
2. Maintain and protect Australia’s agricultural and environmental resource base during period of extreme climatic stress
3. Retain drought assistance

San Jolly, Productive Nutrition, attended an interview with the Productivity Commission to answer questions and discuss our submission. A transcript of this interview, along with inquiry final report, can be downloaded from the Productivity Comission's website
