Lucerne and chicory proving to be the right paddock mix to boost lambing profits (see latest news).
Future Farm Industries CRC (FFI CRC) is developing new and adaptable farming systems for Australia by creating new land-use systems which will make agriculture more productive, adaptable to climate variability, sustainable and diverse.
The use of perennial plants is a primary focus of the CRC’s research because their deep-root systems are more adaptable to climate variation and can lower water tables in low-lying, saline areas.
Much of FFI CRC’s research is built upon the foundations of its predecessor, the CRC for Plant-based Management of Dryland Salinity, which made significant headway in creating new ways to make saline lands more productive and sustainable.
FFI CRC is a unique co-investment and integration of activities between three major agricultural R&D investors, Australia’s largest agribusiness company, and the combined research might of six state agencies, four CSIRO Divisions and four universities. These Participants work together with companies, catchment management organisations and farm research groups to enhance the CRC’s adoption and commercialisation activities.
FFI CRC headquarters is located at The University of Western Australia. Its research, education and training collaborative activities are sited at 40 locations across southern and eastern Australia.
Future Farm Industries CRC Ltd was registered 25 May 2007 and commenced operation on 2 July 2007.
