Prof. Richard Eckard, Primary Industries Climate Challenges Centre

Australian Farm Institute 2019 Roundtable Session: What support is needed to progress implementation of ecosystem services? Facilitator: AFI Chair, Andrew Spencer Guest speaker: Prof. Richard Eckard, Director of Primary Industries Climate Challenges Centre Presentation summary: Prof. Eckard noted that funding and pricing ecosystem services is not a new discussion, and the supply chain needs good indicators of sustainability. He also noted that of the 100 largest global economies, 31 are countries and 69 are companies – perhaps market forces are now more influential than government policy. In addition, the R&D required to deliver ecosystem services – e.g. carbon neutral; agriculture – are hamstrung by 1-3 year funding / contract cycles.
