Summary
This project will deliver an AgriFutures Thoroughbred Horses Program Strategic RD&E Plan 2022-23 to 2027-28. The plan will include a review of the state of the industry, an overarching Program goal, RD&E priorities, and budget allocations across priorities. Priorities must consider research with an immediate payback and long-term transformational research. The project will consider immediate research priorities, priorities that address future issues, and how future thinking and innovation could lead to a transformational change in the thoroughbred industry. The plan will be documented in the relevant AgriFutures template.
The new strategic plan be informed by the existing plan, future RD&E priorities noted during consultation for the mid-term review and seek verification and augmentation of strategic direction via stakeholder comment on a short discussion paper. Use of a discussion paper to distil and communicate preliminary RD&E plan content will provide stakeholders with a solid foundation to build on while minimising the imposition on industry during the busy breeding season. Stakeholder to be contacted will be agreed with AgriFutures prior to project consultation.
