Summary
MLA requires the services of an experienced research and e-extension provider to develop a future strategy for possible re-design and re-development of the online Pasture Picker Selection Tool (Pasture Picker).
MLA has been asked by the old Pastures Australia partners (AWI, GRDC, DA, and RIRDC) to investigate opportunities for re-instatement of the now decommissioned tool in an updated and modified form to improve usability, increase user benefits, and enable integration with other tools.
Objectives
This project will investigate opportunities for a re-instatement of the Pasture Picker selection tool in an updated form to improve usability, increase user benefits and enable integration with other tools.
Key findings
The report attached details the study results of the aspects of the Pasture Picker application. The document defines how the solution will be built including the major elements that are required.
Benefits to industry
This tool is a powerful resource that can assist in selection of pasture species suitable to local conditions. This application is firmly in the solution space, funneling a broad range of inputs into a single document, leveraging off current practices to focus on major issues.
