National R,D & E Framework
Research, Development and Extension (RD&E) in primary industries is a key factor for increasing productivity and ensuring sustainability.
RD&E across Australia is a very complex web of research providers and investors who are independent operators with strong interconnections.
The 16 rural R&D corporations and industry-owned companies (RDCs) are an integral component of this web, as well as the state and territory governments, CSIRO, universities and private providers. If Australia’s primary industries are to improve their productivity and sustainability they cannot afford a fragmented or duplicative RD&E system.
Nationally, RD&E investment in primary industries, which exceeds $1 billion annually, needs to be focussed, used efficiently, effectively and collaboratively.
Under guidance from the Primary Industries Ministerial Council (PIMC) the CRRDCC is coordinating the involvement of the Rural RDCs in the movement to create a more efficient and effective national research system.
In November 2008, the Primary Industries Standing Committee R&D Subcommittee developed a paper on the what the Framework will look like.
