AgriFutures Australia is currently seeking rice research proposals across four priority areas - optimised genetic improvement, agronomy and farming systems, coordinated industry extension and strengthened industry capacity.
The AgriFutures Rice Program invests in research, development and extension (RD&E) that will secure a productive, sustainable and more profitable future for Australian rice growers and achieve the industry goal to increase the Australian rice industry’s water productivity to an average of 1.5 t/ML.
The Rice Program’s current Open Call is seeking research proposals that align with research priorities identified in the Rice Program Strategic RD&E Plan (2021-2026) and more specifically prioritising the additional objectives as described below.
The open call closes on Monday, May 1 at noon. For more, go to https://agrifutures.com.au/funding-opportunity/agrifutures-rice-open-call/.
