This research project has resulted in a public access website on the Internet which is freely available for public use at any time.
The aim was to present extensive and regularly-updated information on a major group of rural industries for a major world region. The industries concerned were those based on useful perennial plants (‘tree crops’ for short), and the region was Australasia. This information was to include not only data on the plants involved, which changes relatively slowly, but also information and contact details for all the players involved, from industry, research, government, and commerce — an area in constant flux.
