United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network

In 2015, the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (UNSDSN) chose the Mulloon Institute as a demonstrator of sustainable, productive and profitable farming. Our focus is on sharing research data, innovative solutions and best practice.

The recognition was determined through the SDSN’s National Transformation Pathways for Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems project.  

We are part of a unique network contributing to practical solutions for sustainable development through global discussions, local, national and regional problem solving, educational activities and applied research and clear communication.

As one of several Australian organisations working towards the UN’s SDGs, we have submitted our Mulloon case study to share our successes and learnings to inspire further action and collaboration towards meeting the Goals. You can view our listing on the Australian Sustainable Development Goals website.

The UNSDSN’s acknowledgment is based on our ongoing development of the Mulloon Rehydration Initiative (MRI) and our integrated science and world-class research into the initiative’s outcomes. The MRI involves 23 farmers, over 23,000 hectares of land and 50km’s of creek. The project is rebuilding the Mulloon catchment’s natural landscape function and boosting its resilience to climatic extremes.
