Growing Tasmanian Agriculture - Research, Development and Extension for 2050

​​​The Tasmanian Government has an ambitious goal to grow the annual value of the State’s agriculture to $10 billion by 2050. Investment in agricultural research, development and extension (RD&E) is a key factor to achieving the growth rate necessary to reach this target.
