  • Project code: PRJ-003204

  • Project stage: Closed

  • Project start date: Monday, June 30, 2008

  • Project completion date: Friday, July 10, 2009

  • National Priority: RIC-Agronomy and farming systems

Summary

The project proposal would involve all sectors of the industry in a carefully-managed process that provides a common understanding of future problems and opportunities. A suitable means of achieving this would be through a scoping workshop attended by a broad-based range of participants from the various sectors of the irrigated farming industry. The workshop would examine emerging issues through the prior preparation of a scoping paper, amplified by presentations by selected keynote speakers. A facilitated process could then develop appropriate strategies and project areas for subsequent development. It would also be important to identify funding options, and to identify which parts of the supply chain should be involved in high priority projectsinto the future.

Objective Summary

There are a number of key objectives to the proposed project:
1. Involve all sectors of the rice based farming systems industry in a carefully-managed process that provides a common understanding of future problems and opportunities.
2. Conduct a scoping study and establish terms of reference.
3. Conduct a scoping workshop attended by a broad-based range of participants from the various sectors of the irrigated rice based farming systems industry. The workshop would examine emerging issues through the prior preparation of the scoping paper, amplified by presentations by selected keynote speakers.
4. A facilitated process would then develop appropriate strategies and prioritise project areas for subsequent future development and investment.
5. Identify which parts of the supply chain should be involved in high priority projects.
