Welcome to the website of the
Council of Rural Research & Development Corporations' Chairs
There are 15 Rural Research and Development Corporations covering virtually all of the agricultural industries. The RDCs bring industry and researchers together to establish research and development strategic directions and to fund projects that provide industry with the innovation and productivity tools to compete in global markets.
The Rural Research and Development Corporation model of joint industry and government funding has been a vital element in the success of Australia’s R&D effort.
English escort In the agriculture, fisheries and forestry sector, R&D has helped Australian agriculture double its productivity over the past 25 years.
The Council of Rural Research and Development Corporations' Chairs (CRRDCC) is a forum for ensuring that the RDC model continues to contribute to a sustainable and profitable Australian agricultural sector.
The fifth edition of Innovate Australia has just been released, containing stories on the National Climate Change Research Strategy for Primary Industries, preparing for increased stock watering levels this summer and the latest series of case studies from Grain & Graze.

CCRSPI seeking comments
The National Climate Change Research Strategy for Primary Industries is seeking comments and input from stakeholders.
The strategy will guide research to reduce the risks, maximise the opportunities for primary industries (agriculture, fisheries and forestry) and make the most of limited research funding. It will cover issues related to adaptation to climate change, greenhouse gas mitigation, emissions accounting and trading, and the consequences for primary industries and rural communities.
