NABRC RD&A Priorities
The North Australia Beef Research Council (NABRC) facilitates one of the northern beef industry’s most important producer-led consultation processes.
Each year, NABRC and its network of Regional Beef Research Committees (RBRCs) identify, discuss and rank the key research, development and adoption (RD&A) issues affecting northern Australia’s grassfed beef industry.
These priorities help guide investment and planning across the sector and ensure RD&A activities remain connected to the practical needs of producers and beef industry participants across northern Australia.
How the priorities are developed
The Producer-Identified RD&A Priorities are developed through ongoing consultation and discussion at RBRC meetings held across northern Australia.
During meetings, committees discuss:
-
regional production and sustainability issues
-
emerging industry challenges
-
adoption and extension gaps
-
current and proposed research projects
-
opportunities for innovation and collaboration
-
practical barriers to implementation on-farm.
The process is designed to ensure priorities are:
-
producer-led
-
regionally informed
-
commercially relevant
-
practical and outcome-focused
-
reflective of both current and emerging industry needs.
NABRC consolidates input from all 11 RBRCs to develop a northern Australia-wide view of the industry’s key RD&A priorities.
