Supporting market access, safety and regulation

The Australian wine industry needs to anticipate, facilitate and influence changes to regulations relating to wine composition, production, labelling and marketing. This project supports AWRI staff participating in a range of international fora and meetings and working with these organisations to provide scientific and technical advice. Australian participation in these meetings provides increased understanding of the international regulatory environment and assists with improved market access. Information that is gathered and disseminated assists the Australian wine industry by providing evidence-based and informed decision-making by the wine industry, regulators, policy makers and consumers. Support will also be provided to the work of the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources (DAWR), Wine Australia (WA) and Australian Grape and Wine (AGW) in establishing robust regulatory frameworks in emerging markets.

A Common Approach for Commodity-Sector-Level GHG Accounting for Australian Agriculture

The broad aim of this cross-sectoral project is to develop a common framework for greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting that is transparent, trusted and relevant for Australia and can be broadly adopted across all agricultural industries.

The development of a national, grape-industry strategy for the implementation of a national standard for grapevine certification - Phase 1

The lack of a national standard for the health of planting material in Australia means that growers have no guarantee that the planting material being supplied to them by nurseries is disease free or of a certain provenance. Phase 1 of this project will address the framework required to underpin a new national standard for grapevine planting material, which will be customer-focused, independently audited, transparent, aspirational, inclusive and allow for continuous improvement.

Validation and implementation of an early warning system to reduce smoke impacts from prescribed burns and bushfires on agricultural industries in Victoria

This project will develop a fully integrated network of air quality sensors to provide real-time data on smoke dose and the risk of smoke taint in winegrapes. Accurate prediction of the doses which cause smoke taint will enable the emergency sector to organise and conduct planned burns more effectively and with less risk to agricultural industries, particularly the wine industry.
