the australian farmer
“ I am privileged to have a leading role in identify- ing agricultural research and adoption priorities within the livestock industries. I am cognisant of the complexities of industry funding and the tus-
sle between providing long-term security of tenure for researchers, whilst at the same time inserting sufficient checks and balances into funding proposals to demand currency and relevancy of work to the end-user. I understand that ultimately this process, which relies on a culture of trust and respect between the parties and where agricultural producers feel empowered to contribute to the research because their input is acted upon, must be about enhan- cing the circumstances of Australian farmers.” Dr Bronwyn Clarke, Chair of The Western Australian Livestock Research Council
