Issues SIDDC are currently focusing on:
- Sustainable, profitable pasture based dairy farming
- Environmental monitoring and protection
- Improving the farms' water, nutrient and feed efficiency
- Reproductive performance in large herds / high productive farms
- Dairy support land / total farm efficiency and resource use
- Development and use of 'eco-n' nitrification inhibitor technology to reduce nitrogen losses and increase pasture production
- Mitigating the effects of clover root weevil
- Reducing the farms' greenhouse gas footprint / emissions per kg milksolids
