Aspects of the Social and Economics team
Planning for NRM requires an understanding of the social and economic conditions, charactersitics, needs and aspirations of a region.
This need arises because management actions identified within regional NRM plans will need the support of communities and individuals to be successful.
There is no one-stop-shop for this information. The social and economic unit can offer advice and assistance on the best sources of data, and help interpret that data.
Find out more from the social and economic fact sheets.
Find out what incentives are available from the NRM incentives database.

Designer Carrots
National market based instrument capacity building program
The $1.2 million national MBI capacity building program, which runs under the banner of Designer Carrots, is developing a number of products to help regional NRM groups and government policy makers build their capacity to better understand and use MBIs as an incentive to encourage land managers to implement best practice NRM.
The Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Water is coordinating the program.
