Family on farm

DPI engages with the agricultural industry and Victorian communities to maintain and further develop a productive and sustainable agricultural sector.

DPI works with farmers and the industry to utilise resources effectively and consider the broader community and environment.

Weather conditions and the climate play a key role for farmers and rural landholders. DPI has a range of tools and programs you can use.
