Investment

This is GRDC's contribution to the Plant Biosecurity Research Initiative. This is an Initiative which is a partnership between the nation's plant Research and Development Corporations (RDCs), working collaboratively with Plant Health Australia (PHA), the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources (DAWR) industry, state and federal biosecurity stakeholders.

The aim is to coordinate funding for research and development, deliver vital projects and attract further co-investment. A coordinated approach ensures that this effort is aligned to broader national goals and delivered with increased efficiency, avoiding duplication of effort. The collaboration between all seven plant RDCs, PHA and government signals the importance these industries place on plant biosecurity RD&E and capacity building for the future.
