GRDC and Grains Industry in Australia Develop Research Strategy
February 26, 2010| |
Australia's Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) and the Department of Agriculture and Food (DAFWA) are taking the lead in developing a national strategy for grains research, development and extension (RD&E). Other partners are state departments of agriculture, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), universities, the Australian Government and growers. This was forwarded by GRDC managing director Peter Reading during the Agribusiness Crop Updates in Perth.
"The world of grains RD&E is evolving due to a number of factors – we need to understand those factors and determine where various organizations fit, making sure RD&E continues to function most effectively," Reading said. "The new national RD&E strategy recognizes the increasing importance of co-existence of the private and public grains sectors to ensure the development of the best technologies and establish the best possible pathways for new technologies to be adopted."
