Sustainability, productivity and profitability must go hand in hand. Field Applied Research (FAR) Australia is helping to make this happen by conducting research, development and extension to support beneficial changes in Australian agriculture.

The primary role of Field Applied Research (FAR) Australia is applying science innovation to profitable outcomes in the field, through excellence in applied field research and interpretation of research for use on farm. FAR Australia staff carry out a wide range of field research projects partnering and collaborating with a number of higher science bodies including universities, state departments and CSIRO. The organisation is integrally involved in extension and training of growers and advisors working with regional farming groups and the cropping levy body GRDC to provide cutting edge, field proven research outcomes for adoption by growers. In addition to a range of national and regional research projects, FAR Australia runs its own field research centres in collaboration with industry partners depending on location.
