Kim Broadfoot
Kim has worked within the agricultural and natural resource sectors for over 18 years.
Kim is currently part of a team that has recently completed a project looking at the impacts of climate change, and potential adaptation options, for mixed farms systems in southern NSW, using a range of key economic, production and natural resource indicators to understand system performance under future climates. Kim has also spent time on soil carbon research and pasture production systems in New South Wales, along with spending time in Victoria undertaking research on soil salinity and spatially mapping the extent of soil salinity across key irrigation areas of Victoria, and also in Queensland undertaking research on water use efficiency in cotton in the Border Rivers region.
