CFI/GRFL RD&E Forum Report
Earlier this year, CFI and the Grains Research Foundation held a forum in Toowoomba to seek direction from industry about how grains RD&E should work in the North. The forum was specifically targeted at engaging as wide a cross-section of the northern grain sectors as possible.
The forum asked five specific questions:
- What RD&E should we invest in to get the best bang for our buck in the Northern Region?
- Who will pay for grains RD&E in the Northern Region?
- How do we get more out of research facilities located in the Northern Region?
- Where will the grains industry's next generation of scientists, agronomists and consultants come from?
- How do we develop and foster a "Northern Region" view
Current CFI Projects
CFI currently has projects in Managing and Understanding Soil Water, Conservation Farming Training, Webinars, Conservation Farming on sloping country, Atrazine Management, Precision Agriculture and plastic mulches for Water and Heat Conservation.
