Hybrid economic futures for remote Indigenous Australia: Linking poverty reduction and natural resource management

Featuring a new Indigenous hybrid economy model that recognises a distinctive customary sector alongside market and state sectors, this project will promulgate a path-breaking means to address entrenched Indigenous Australian under-development and dependence in remote Australia. Focusing on the 20 per cent of the Australian continent that is under Indigenous ownership, cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural approaches and international collaborations will investigate how enhanced engagements in the hybrid economy can improve the livelihoods of Indigenous people. Such engagement will generate national biodiversity, social and financial benefits. This new approach will interest encapsulated Indigenous minorities elsewhere in the world.
