註釋Discharge of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) from sugarcane farms is a major threat to the Great Barrier Reef. The export of DIN from sugarcane farms is related to the application of nitrogen fertiliser in excess of the amount taken up by crops. Applying nitrogen fertiliser in excess of crop needs is a rational response by farmers growing high value crops, including sugarcane, to minimise the risk of crop growth and yield being limited by availability of nitrogen. Insurance is an instrument commonly used to mitigate risk, and this project examined whether insurance could be an enduring instrument, that does not depend on public funding, to help farmers manage risk leading to them reducing nitrogen applications.
