Types of people: Agriculture and food based organisations, grower groups, government
What we hope to achieve: We are developing a Pulse CRC bid. The CRC aims to optimise Pulse breeding, production and supply chains. We hope to provide an effective business and agronomic rotation for Australian grain producers thereby bolstering grain production and providing an additional diversified revenue stream for cropping farm enterprises. This will meet the growing needs of the consumer of the future for plant protein with specific flavours, nutrition, quality, provenance transparency and verified authenticity.
