Joint research partnership set to grow primary industries in South Australia
The University of Adelaide and the State Government have officially launched a significant partnership between the University and Primary Industries and Regions SA's research division, the South Australian Research and Development Institute.
The organisations will utilise each other's strengths to generate high-value outcomes including potential for export opportunities as well as to attract greater external research funding.
Initial research partnerships include a five-year, multi-partner $4.5 million research project to understand the drivers of terroir in the Barossa Valley, and a project developing herbicide-tolerant pulses, with herbicide-tolerant faba beans.
