  Current and past performance of the organisation

  How the current and likely future rural industry operating environment might influence research and development investment

  Research priorities and preferences

  Organisational structure, approaches and systems.

In developing this revised Strategic R&D Plan 2017-2022, AgriFutures Australia engaged in additional consultation, including:

  A series of seven face-to-face Regional Innovation Conversations around Australia targeting emerging leaders

  Face-to-face meetings with our two declared Representative Organisations – National Farmers’ Federation and the Australian Chicken Meat Federation

  Face-to-face meetings with a number of our other key stakeholders.
