CSIRO Futures was commissioned by AgriFutures Australia to identify preliminary opportunities for Australia’s agriculture and food industries to supply bioactive raw ingredients to the complementary medicines industry. This involved developing a model that estimated the potential supply of bioactives within byproducts across the Australian agrifood sector, with insights supplemented and validated through interviews with experts across research, industry and government. The report aims to drive industry development by raising awareness around the potential scale of the opportunities and mapping out important next steps around assessing commercial validity.
