Webinar: Consultation for amendments to the Honey Bee & Pollination RD&E Plan

We invite all beekeepers, state and federal organizations, and researchers to our next AgriFutures Honey Bee & Pollination Program webinar on Tuesday, 22 August 2023 from 12pm-1pm.

The mid-term review of the AgriFutures Honey Bee & Pollination RD&E Plan (2020-2025) has highlighted the need for significant amendments, as the current plan is no longer fit for purpose. AgriFutures is committed to maximising the return on investment for your R&D levy – to ensure the success of our efforts, your input and feedback are invaluable.

The proposed amendments to the Plan can be viewed here.

By attending this webinar, you will gain insights into the outline of proposed changes to the plan. This is an opportunity to actively participate, voice your opinions and seek clarity on any aspects related to the amendments.

Don’t miss this chance to contribute to shaping the future of honey bee and pollination research, and ensure the sustainable growth of this critical industry.
