Doug J. Reuter, Joe Walker, Rob W. Fitzpatrick, Graham D. Schwenke and Philip G. O’Callaghan
ABSTRACT

In this chapter we review recent experiences in using soil, terrain, landscape and catchment indicators to assess the condition of the resource base underpinning agricultural activities. We describe the use of indicators in three case studies, and suggest potential indicators for assessing and monitoring system sustainability in the northern grains region of Australia.
