A fresh approach

... to build skills
... to invest in research, development and extension
... to agribusiness services

Queensland´s primary industries sector is changing. World-wide food shortages, rising food and fuel prices, a changing climate, skill shortages and increasing biosecurity threats are issues at the forefront of modern agribusiness.

To capitalise on these challenges and opportunities, Queensland´s agribusinesses need new thinking for a fresh future.

The Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries (DPI&F) is developing a plan with industry, education providers and research organisations for a fresh approach to build a skilled workforce, to network and modernise services, and to capitalise on research and development potential to foster world-class innovation.

This fresh approach to accelerate growth will see DPI&F:

  • partnering with schools, Australian agricultural colleges and universities to create and market rewarding and attractive career paths in all aspects of primary industries
  • progressing the national research, development and extension framework by establishing proposed 'Centres of Excellence' to better partner industry with education, attract the highest level of domestic and international investment possible and ensure investment in research and development to provide greater productivity for industry
  • developing tailored services that maximise the department´s contribution to accelerated growth for primary industries.
