Impacts of COVID-19 on the Australian Seafood Industry: Extending the assessment to prepare for uncertain futures

In March 2021 the FRDC published an initial rapid assessment of the impacts of COVID-19 on the Australian seafood industry from January - June 2020, that considered direct and indirect effects of disruption to seafood production, supply chains and markets during the initial period of the pandemic, and the availability of data to support rapid assessment. This project aims to produce a more comprehensive follow-up Impact Assessment Report, that will inform the development of a guideline to assess the economic and social effects of large-scale, multi-level risks to fisheries and aquaculture in the future.

Updating Shipping Route Data for the Heat Stress Risk Assessment (HSRA) Model

The current heat stress risk assessment (HSRA) model used when transporting livestock in ships relies on historical weather data for routes to port, but climatic conditions may vary. This project will deliver an updated data set of climatic conditions and variability on sailing routes to 63 ports, that will be fed into the HSRA model as it undergoes an upgrade.

Uptake of Training and Animal Health and Welfare Practices

Encouraging greater uptake of leading animal health and welfare practice across the livestock supply chain is important to reduce risks, increase productivity and support industry sustainability. This project aims to produce a sustainable training strategy tailored to the specific requirements of the livestock export industry.

Drought resilience

The aim of this project is to develop management strategies that irrigated, rain-dependent vineyards can apply during a drought to minimise the loss of yield and grape quality. This involves better understanding of vine and cover crop water use.

Environmental risk assessment and life cycle assessment of raw sugar manufacturing

Life cycle assessment (LCA) measures the environmental impacts in all stages of a product's life, from raw material through processing, manufacture, distribution and use. This project will design a new LCA to reflect the impact of the raw sugar value chain, to identify opportunities for improvement and ensure the industry's social licence to operate.

Moth Borers - how are we going to manage them when they arrive?

Moth borers are medium to large moths that eat through sugarcane as caterpillars, reducing yields by up to 20%. To prepare for a potential incursion, this project is investigating the feasibility of using soil-applied systemic insecticides to manage moth borers.
