AAGI-AU Programs
AAGI-AU’s activities operate through three main programs.
Service & support
AAGI-AU provides analytics and statistical support to grains researchers working directly on GRDC-funded RD&E investments.
Research & development
AAGI-AU’s researchers explore and contribute to cutting-edge research and the development of analytical techniques for applications to the Australian grains industry and beyond.
Upskilling & awareness
AAGI-AU engages with researchers working across both academia and industry to promote novel methods and technologies, and improves the analytics capacity of the sector through workshops, mentoring and internships.
Program improvement cycle
These programs reinforce each other through AAGI’s Program Improvement Cycle. Practical experience from working with growers and researchers in the Service & Support program yields insights on the emerging domain needs for research and advanced analytics. These needs focus the research areas of the Research & Development program, and new developments are disseminated to industry in the Upskilling & Awareness program. Research outcomes and increased expert capacity for analytics thence empower the decision-making of growers and agronomists in the field, benefitting the entire Australian grains industry.
