Real farms trialling real solutions

What are producer demonstration sites?

Producer demonstrations sites (PDS) are real-world farms where cutting-edge emissions reduction technologies are tested and showcased. They provide a platform for collaboration between producers, researchers, and industry partners to validate solutions at scale and under diverse conditions.  At each PDS, producers work alongside CRC researchers to test and refine technologies in their own production systems, whether livestock, cropping or mixed farming. These trials are designed to validate research findings at scale, accelerate adoption, and build producer capability through hands-on learning and peer-to-peer engagement.  By embedding research in commercial settings, the PDS program helps producers gain confidence in new approaches, while providing the CRC with critical feedback to improve and tailor its innovations. It’s a model designed to de-risk adoption, build trust, and deliver measurable progress toward zero net emissions in agriculture.
