The VFF welcomes the opportunity to provide comment on the Restoring our Rivers: draft
Framework for delivering the 450GL of additional environmental water.
The VFF represents the views of farmers across Northern Victoria, which accounts for 12% of the land mass in in the Murray Darling Basin yet produces almost a third of all food output in the Basin.
Our ability to feed the nation is the result of the highly secure and reliable water products that exist in Victoria. These secure water products have allowed for the development of diversified agricultural industries particularly in horticulture and dairy and their related manufacturing industries.
