the australian farmer
“ I am privileged to have a leading role in identifying agricultural research and adop- tion priorities within the livestock industries. I am cognisant of the complexities of industry
funding and the tussle 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 enhancing the circumstances of Australian farmers.” Dr Bronwyn Clarke, Chair of The Western Australian Livestock Research Council
