The AgriFutures Chicken Meat Program invests in research, development and extension (RD&E) that improves the sustainability, productivity and viability of the Australian chicken meat industry. The Program guides investment across five priority areas to deliver RD&E outcomes to benefit the industry.
The AgriFutures Chicken Meat Program RD&E Plan 2022-2027 (the Plan) has been developed following a comprehensive consultation process. The Plan focuses on five priorities covering environmental sustainability, biosecurity, health and welfare, food safety, sustainable workforce, and secure production systems.
Program RD&E Plans are a key part of implementing AgriFutures Australia’s broader RD&E strategies and are the basis on which the organisation invests on behalf of industries. These Plans identify RD&E priorities and the planned outcomes for each industry, and each has an appropriate balance of productivity and sustainability RD&E priorities.
