Words from the Director

Roger Leigh

"Global food security is threatened by a unique convergence of climatic, environmental, economic and sociological issues that have created major challenges for agricultural production in Australia and across the world. The Waite Research Institute will harness the skills in the University of Adelaide and its partners to address these from paddock to plate." - Professor Roger Leigh
