Initiatives
We’re committed to supporting a healthier environment and have a range of initiatives, policies and projects underway to improve and modernise for a changing climate.
SRW understands the need to balance social, economic and environmental values in our everyday operations, future modernisation and improvement works.
Modernising the MID has been undertaken to enable farmers to implement best-practice water use, invest in on-farm efficiencies and improve farm productivity, while making their businesses more climate resilient.
