How Australia plans to green its Outback desert in Becoming World's largest produce exporter

How Australia plans to green its Outback desert in Becoming a Global produce exporter Australia is the most deserted inhabited area on Earth. With 70% of the area occupied by a desert, the country’s demographics tell that it’s not a heaven for agriculture. The unpredictable rainfall in central Australia is unique compared to other drylands. Instead of agricultural seasons, the transforming rhythms of arid Australia are characterized by erratic bursts of productivity that break up protracted droughts.
Australia is now setting its eyes on regreening the outback for developing agriculture. The country aims on captivating ever-growing Asian market. The population in Asian countries is increasing boundlessly and there is an immense need for more food supplies. Australia is planning on making Outback arable to cash upon this opportunity to become one of the most important produce exporter in the world. As of today, Australia is not doing bad at all as almost 70% of Australian agricultural production being exported and the country exports more agricultural products than its imports. Australian agricultural exports were worth nearly $49 billion in 2018-19. Australia's top agricultural export destinations are China, Japan, the US, and the Republic of Korea. However, China continues to be Australia's leading agricultural product importer.
Australians are smart as they have been making infrastructural plans to enhance their agriculture since 1930s. Now they are turning one of their biggest disadvantage into an advantage i.e., flooding. Parts of outback South Australia have been devastated by flooding. But Australia planned to have a reservoir that could save all the flood water inlands so that it can be used for irrigation. However, they already had one but not in its best shape.
The Great Artesian Basin is Australia's largest groundwater basin and one of the most significant underground water sources on the entire planet. In fact, for much of inland Australia, it is the sole trustworthy source of fresh Water. More than 80 settlements in Queensland depend on the Basin's precious Water, which covers 1,203,920 square kilometers of land or around 65% of its total area. The Basin has been depleting for a long time, and it is a crucial source of Water for the locals. The water flow is also accompanied by low pressure and flow rates. So, to revive the whole system, a framework of dams was designed to bring Water from the North-Eastern parts of the continent to the center.
The plan sounds overwhelmingly ambitious, and science proved it certainly was. The plan was not feasible because there was an error in the initial calculation of evaporation rates. Scientists suggested that the evaporation levels would be intense, and the sizes of reservoirs would not be big enough to induce rainfall, so the project cost was much more than its benefits. However, a small project of the same category proved viable when demand for agricultural products in Asia increased immensely. So, the policymakers decided to establish a network of tunnels that would irrigate the southern part of the continent.
However, this project came at the cost of environmental hazards and disturbed the natural water flow. The government of Queensland has taken other steps to revive the basin. The first step was to ensure efficient channels for water usage, which involves managing water flow by rehabilitating or replacing bores, and replacing open bore drains with pipes, tanks, and troughs. Since 1989, the Queensland Government has also invested $81 million in programs to cap pipe stock and domestic bores. The expected uptake of innovative agricultural technologies will lead to many changes in how farms are managed and allow agricultural yields to stabilize or increase without adverse environmental impact and the conversion of additional non-agricultural land.
If these approaches are successful and can mitigate the negative consequences of climate change, this should also result in improved conservation of biodiversity. Australia for the past couple of decades has been thriving in agriculture and to maintain this competitive advantage the Australian agricultural industry must continue to think strategically and exhibit strong leadership to exceed $100 billion by 2030. Australia has actually carved out its planned for 2030 for becoming a leading produce exporter. It is projected that Australia will see record sales this year in both agriculture and cattle sector. A record grain harvest was produced last year as a result of the improved seasonal circumstances, and a bumper harvest is anticipated this summer.

    There is away to fix australia lands. Bring those beavers from U.K and U.S to Australia. Give up Farmlands and Rivers for Beavers to build their Wetlands all around Australia. But that is not going to make profit now. But will make profit in 100 years. Again. Nothing can change the way those businesses are running. Nothing can change the way those farms are running. Nothing can change the way those human are consuming their foods and products from those farms. Nothing can stop those farmers from farming sheep on grass lands instead of inside a forest. Nothing can stop those cows farmers to farm their cows in forest instead of grasslands. Nothing can stop those big farmers from turning big patches of lands into a single weats farm. Nothing can stop those farmers from turning a giant rainforest into a corn farm. Just as sad as it sound. As bad as it looks. As depressed as it going to be for the future of "Greening" australia. They are turning australia into a farm. Not a rain-forest. To turn australia into a rain-forest? Those Leaders and farmers need to change a lot of their old ways of farming and doing businesses.😂 bring Beaver to australia? Some will even say it is going to ruin the Old australia.

    I think it’d be way easier to just replant Victoria and NSW deforested areas that have been turned into cattle farms, and use that cattle farm land to create tree plantations to slow deforestation and plant fruit trees. And then either decrease the amount of cattle farms or move the, into more arid areas and natural grasslands so they won’t have to destroy trees to house cows and sheep. Turning dessert into forest is near impossible.

Only now has our current state Premier, Anastacia Palazschuk put the foot down and put this project into the start of construction as a "now or never" project due to the constant increases of cost. The plan is to redirect the water from the gulf areas down towards the south west to then allow the water to flow down rivers that went through drought due to El Nino in the 2010s, such as the Warrego and Condamine rivers.

    Employ various low tech methods to keep the water on the land longer. Giant Swales, and retention ponds connecting very slow and curving streams and rivers. Try not to loose any of the seasonal rains to runoff. Build "leaky" dams in dry creek beds to catch and hold and let the water catch and hold on down the creek bed, and cut paths for the overflow to vent sideways into shallow streams. Planting rushes and water tolerant trees along the creek to encourage the area around the creeks to store carbon in the root of complex creek ecosystems will give the area an appearance of a temperate climate and will reduce the heat and wind destruction of the land.

    It amuses me that the commentator talks about Australia doing this or that, as if somehow the government "owns" the agricultural industry, like in China. The truth is that our agriculture is owned and managed by thousands of small and large concerns. There is no one size fits all, and it is driven by market forces and sustainable viability. In South Australia I led a project to cap the Artesian Bores in the Lake Eyre region - some owners said yes, others said no even though a mining company picked up the tab. Australian farmers are fiercely independent and will not be pushed around by government, or anyone else.

    There is some good thoughts at the core but how they are capitalizing on this resource is a problem. What they're proposing will exacerbate salty water/land problems. The Aussie government needs to quit these stupid grand plans and opt for more practical ones. The farmers need to quit the conventional monoculture/annual/chemical/bare earth model as well. They need more frequent, localized and decentralized rainwater harvesting solutions. This puts rainwater in the ground where plants need it without leaving it as vulnerable to evaporation. If they utilized local plants, or plants naturally well-adapted to the challenging drought/flood conditions, the Asian markets would use that. Asians are very adaptable to incorporating new foods and do it well in abundance. Like your commentary on this subject. Glad it avoided being duped by the government's faulty solution. One thing your video missed is that their aquifer is spitting out water that is salty and it is harming irrigation/conventional crops, among other things .

    Australia is not planning to green the Country, presently destruction of our environment is continuing at an alarming rate. As of today, only 50% of Australia's historical forests and bushlands remain intact. Since 1750, the country has lost 27% of the total rainforest, 28% of mallee forest, 19% of open forest, and 11% of the woodland forest. Australia has ranked 5th overall in the study, destroying an average of 416,840 hectares of forestry per year between 2015-2020. Australia is the only developed nation on the list and has been for some time. Article dated: 28 Mar 2023

    Have you noticed that when Lake Eyre naturally floods, something that happens about once a decade, there is no flush of rainfall to the East and into NSW. That’s because the evaporation is not as a single intense bolus but rather a slow trickle which does not lead to cloud formation and rainfall. Flooding would produce the same inadequate response. It needs something different to produce rainfall.

    Intermittent and inconsistent heavy downfalls do not make a reliable water source. Evaporation rates around central Australia are about 2~2.5 metres per year. This means any collection would quickly disappear if held in a broad-acre containment. Sorry, what you are dreaming about will not work. Time to think again.

    It is NOT the rainfall, it is the SALINITY of the inland soil...it has almost NO top soil either. The ways to FIX this is to run a salt water canal for Newcastle on t he east coast though to Kartarta on the West Coast, make it navigable and wide , run the order river scheme down to Adelaide and empty into the Murray Darling and build desalination points in the inland to be able to FLOOD the inland so eradicate the salinity. The error in evaporation rate was over 100 years ago and based on European Topogrhaphy. Make an ariticial mountain range about 300 kms inland from the west coast..etc etc etc., it would work and not just produce so much more but be able to sustain a population MUCH larger, which should be ecouraged to grow by an EXTRA 60 million in conjustion with this scheme, it would INSTANTLY produce a GDP of 13 trillion PLUS and growing . This would leave Australia to pursue its own interests in the world.

    Demographics say China is going to be half the size it was in a decade. Developing the means to mitigate the boom/ bust cycle are going to be a worthy investment regardless of who the market ends up being. Build it DURABLE like the pyramids and low maintenance, and you might have something. figuring out natural drainage flows and forming holding tanks with coffer dams every 2-12 km would hold surface runoff to let it soak into aquifers and make irrigation water available for crops. Keeping them shallow would allow plants to grow for shade, maybe mitigation the evaporation problem. Heck having those ponds would probably provide for more firebreaks and supply watter too when the dry is really dry.......

    20% increase of vegetation and precipitation over the last 40 years due to CO2 fertilization has greened Australia significantly. The so called "negative effects of climate change" are amazingly good for Australia. No doubt, formerly marginal agricultural areas are now productive, profitable and financially rewarding. Eventually property prices will reflect the REALITY on the ground, despite the negative propaganda pouring out of mainstream media and our "highly respected" politicians.

Nothing can stop those cows farmers to farm their cows in forest instead of grasslands. Nothing can stop those big farmers from turning big patches of lands into a single weats farm. Nothing can stop those farmers from turning a giant rainforest into a corn farm. Just as sad as it sound. As bad as it looks. As depressed as it going to be for the future of "Greening" australia.
