Land

Land management is fundamental to the Australian wool industry.

AWI invests in land management research, development and extension to provide a sound base for the wool industry's ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship. The Australian wool industry has a unique opportunity to demonstrate that rural landscapes can be managed to effectively support profitable grazing enterprises and the natural environment.
