This project represents FRDC’s contribution to an RDC-wide initiative to develop a framework for advancing community trust and social acceptance of the agriculture sector in Australia. The project will develop a stakeholder engagement process to determine the industry’s key social licence issues. An annual quantitative benchmark survey of community sentiment will inform the development of pathways and models for improving community trust and acceptance over time. This will all be supported by communication material to facilitate interpretation of the data insights and research outcomes.
