The Community Trust in Rural Industries project is a program of collaborative research to understand the nature of the relationship between Australia’s rural industries and the Australian community. Importantly, this four-year research program demonstrates a commitment by Australia’s rural industries to engage directly with the community to guide industry activities and inform the thinking of their members.
This is the fourth year of the Community Trust in Rural Industries (CTRI) project. To date we have heard from over 22,000 Australians through our nationally representative annual survey. Over time, we have collected a robust set of longitudinal data that sets out the ways in which rural industries can meet industry challenges and create a deeper relationship with the Australian community based on trust.
