OBJECTIVES

The role of the CRC is to facilitate transformation of the sheep industry through making sheep easier to manage, developing the production and processing of meat and wool to meet increasing consumer expectations and by increasing the uptake of new technologies by the industry.

 

The scope of the Strategic Plan is defined by the objectives set out in the Agreements between the CRC and the Commonwealth and between CRC Participants. The CRC objectives were established through extensive consultation with industry and with reference to the National Research Priorities. The agreed outcomes and outputs are consistent with the capabilities and interests of the CRC Participants and closely match the National Research Priorities. The priority to develop frontier technologies for building and transforming Australian industries is particularly closely aligned with the goals of the CRC. The CRC will also contribute to the aim of achieving an environmentally sustainable Australia and will indirectly promote and maintain good health.
