Australia leads the world in the understanding of the wheat genome, and Australian farmers supply 10 per cent of the global trade in wheat. Our research teams work shoulder to shoulder with the world’s best public and private partners including plant breeders, Australian farmers, food manufacturers, nutritionists, government research bodies and NGOs, both nationally and globally. Our plant scientists are unsung heroes in Australia’s history and they deserve our support. The partnership they have with our agricultural and food manufacturing community is a foundation of Australia’s competitiveness.
