Research
Research is recognised as a major driver of innovation, productivity growth, improved sustainability and international competiveness.
The Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAAFI) is a unique Australian research institute, and among only a handful of similar scientific organisations anywhere in the world.
Formed from the combined scientific expertise of researchers from The University of Queensland and the Queensland Government, QAAFI is comprised of three inter-related research centres with a focus on the challenges facing tropical and sub-tropical food, fibre and agribusiness sectors:
- Centre for Plant Science (CPS)
- Centre for Animal Science (CAS)
- Centre for Nutrition and Food Sciences (CNAFS)
Through excellence in research and innovation, QAAFI pursues sustainable agriculture and food production practices. The institute seeks, through the application of high-impact science, to improve the competiveness and sustainability of tropical and sub-tropical food, fibre and agribusiness sectors.
It is QAAFI’s aim to be recognised locally, nationally and internationally in plant science, animal science, and nutrition and food sciences, delivering lasting outcomes in discovery, learning, and engagement.
