There has been plenty of good analysis of why agri-food innovation is slow to make progress and often great science is not adopted. Rather than ‘more research’ we need better targeted research. We also need to spend existing money more efficiently and that is the focus of the actions outlined. My plan is informed by over 45 years of being fully immersed in our agricultural community and working at the interface of practical farming, research and government. Rather than another analysis of what is wrong it deliberately aims to focus on actions that I believe will move a great industry full of committed people forward to create a resilient industry that efficiently feeds the growing population and enhances the environment.
