Recent research on the importance of provenance and the effectiveness of collective bargaining and cooperatives in Australian agriculture reveals the potential of farmer collective action to improve economic performance and enhance rural and sociocultural development. The project will investigate opportunities in export markets for targeted collaboration amongst farmers through provenance branding and efficient, quality food production, and the legal and regulatory implications of alternative collaborative options.
