'Lifestyles and landuse' - getting good veg outcomes from landuse change

This session examined a range of approaches including traditional incentives, conservation covenants, market-based instruments and innovative partnerships to address dryland salinity, biodiversity loss, and decline of soil and water quality in a rapidly changing landscape.
