Engagement
At QAAFI, our agricultural and food science researchers have developed extensive relationships with Australian and international farming communities, industry and government agencies. Strong collaboration is at the heart of QAAFI’s research effort. We partner with organisations across the globe to facilitate mutually beneficial collaborations, which can be leveraged to secure further research funding and to attract the best minds to work on key challenges in the agriculture and food industries.
