Research areas
Scientific research informs decision-making from the primary producer to the marketplace to the consumer.
At any given moment Science and Research (S&R) is undertaking more than 900 projects in collaboration with Federal and State departments, cooperative research centres and industry groups.
In all its research outcomes S&R aims to balance the needs of primary producers and long-term natural resource management.
The Science and Research division is grouped in these research areas.
