Welcome to Future Harvest

Your journey towards a sustainable future starts here.

Explore the future of farming. See how farming families, companies and community groups are responding to the challenge of environmental sustainability in the way they manage the land.

Sustainability-the big issue. What does sustainability mean?

Case Studies Visit innovative farming enterprises in rural Victoria taking up the challenge of sustainability. Go on a virtual tour of a dairy farm in South Gippsland, a sheep and cereals farm in the Mallee, a dairy farm in Goulburn Valley, or the Hepburn Permaculture Gardens in Hepburn Springs.

Resources for teachers and students include school-based activities, web links and other references.

The Future Harvest project is part of community-based research by Museum Victoria into issues of sustainability and its effects on the lifestyles, environments and future of communities in Victoria.

Museum Victoria has also developed Water Smart Home to inspire Melburnians in ways that they can reduce, reuse and revalue water in their daily lives.
