Capturing the value of R&D with a greater emphasis on extension

摘要

WHERE DO YOU want the Australian wine sector to be in 2017 and what research, development and extension will help us get there? These two questions framed the extensive industry consultation that the Grape and Wine Research and Development Corporation(GWRDC) undertook to identify the wine sector's research priorities and focus our investments for the next five years. We consulted with our primary stakeholders, the WinemakeFs' Federation of Australia (WFA), Wine Grape Growers Australia (WGGA) and the Australian Government, and with regional representatives, graduates of the future leaders program, the National Wine Research Network, the National Wine Extension and Innovation Network, as well as Australia's top 20 wine producers.
