"This project assesses the effectiveness and impact of the Climate Research Strategy for Primary Industries (CRSPI) program over its 10-year life span to provide information and recommendations for future coordination of climate research, development and extension in primary industries. To meet this purpose, the past performance and effectiveness is cast forward in the context of a rapidly changing RD&E environment. 
 
 The private investment and political landscape around climate research has changed significantly since CRSPI was established. The review will not only assess the performance of CRSPI for the purpose of identifying future options for ongoing coordination of climate research but will also forecast a likely future operating environment for the CRSPI partners and stakeholders which will impact those options."
