FIAL announces $500,000 fund to support food and agribusiness innovation

摘要

From low-sugar beverages to energy-efficient technologies and snacks from sustainable food sources, Food Innovation Australia Limited (FIAL) has supported a diverse range of innovation projects in Australian food and agribusinesses. This grassroots involvement has given FIAL a front-row seat to knowing that innovation is central to the sector's continued growth. Particularly in light of the current challenges affecting Australia - drought, flood, fire, and viral epidemics. FIAL has announced its Black Summer Innovation Fund - providing $500,000 to support innovation in Australian food and agribusinesses impacted by recent events like the bush fires and summer storms. "Backing Australian food and agribusinesses from the bottom-up during times of adversity is crucial," said FIAL managing director, Dr. Mirjana Prica.
