Native Foods R&D Priorities & Strategies

Australian Bushfoods Magazine's Native Foods sub-program has developed cohesive set of projects within the New Plants Program. With the formation of Australian Native Food Industry Limited as a peak body for the industry it is timely to review the R&D plan that RIRDC has followed over the past five years.

A wide range of topics have been supported by Australian Bushfoods Magazine's Native Foods sub-program, including support for the development of the industry peak body, with the majority of funding going to addressing production constraints and exploring novel uses to grow the markets for Australian native foods.
