Rising population and food shortages across Asia are resulting in greater demand for Australia’s clean, safe and sustainable produce.
This demand presents opportunity for innovation across our agricultural supply chain from food storage to water management systems and genetically modified food.
As Australia transforms from primary producers to high volume global food processors, protecting the intellectual property behind the innovation is vital for the long-term success of Australia’s agricultural industry.
The agricultural and food industries have a strong history in innovation including, improving productivity, developing new methods and products, environmentally sustainable solutions and biosecurity. Strong reliance on IP rights both locally and internationally is essential.
