| ABARE's farm surveys provide a broad range of information on the current and historical economic performance of farm business units in the rural sector. ABARE conducts the Australian agricultural and grazing industries survey and Australian dairy industry survey annually. These two surveys cover detailed financial, physical and socioeconomic information for the broadacre and dairy sectors that contain more than 70 per cent of Australian farm business units. Information gathered is presented in Australian farm surveys results, Australian grains industry reports and various dairy publications. Packaged data are also available directly through web-based products such as AGSurf. |

| The ABARE fuel and electricity survey has been conducted regularly by ABARE since 1973-74. The information collected in the ABARE Fuel and electricity survey forms the basis of Australia's national energy statistics, including energy consumption and production. This information is used by Australian industry, Commonwealth and State governments, academia and international organisations for energy policy, planning and development purposes. |

| The Australian government has developed a range of programs to encourage sustainable agriculture and protect Australia’s natural resources. These programs include the National Landcare Program, the Natural Heritage Trust and, more recently, the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality. ABARE’s 2001-02 resource management survey was designed to investigate the perceptions of, and responses to, land degradation by Australian broadacre and dairy farmers, and to assist in the ongoing evaluation of these natural resource management programs. ABARE’s resource management survey is a supplementary survey attached to ABARE’s national survey of broadacre and dairy industries, allowing information from these surveys to be combined. A client report was also produced based on this data, which is accessible from this website. |
