Summary
The VegMachine project pioneered a new approach to rangeland monitoring in a system that brought together human extension expertise, carefully prepared monitoring data products, and the purpose-built VegMachine software. In doing so the project has demonstrated the benefits that satellite technology can provide the grazing industry in monitoring and managing country in a sustainable approach. It has successfully delivered new satellite monitoring information in a simple, yet effective format that has engaged and satisfied the needs of a range of pastoralists.
