Our founding members were Australia’s 15 rural Research and Development Corporations (RDCs), which span the agriculture, fisheries and forestry industries.
RDCs play a critical role in funding commodity-specific research to meet their sector priorities.
AIA complements this, by providing RDCs and the broader value chain with a mechanism to leverage research, knowledge and insights to address complex, emerging challenges that span multiple sectors.
Through this collective model, funding and resources can be directed to maximise industry return and deliver lasting benefits for RDCs and their levy payers.
Beyond our core membership, a number of RDCs actively invest in AIA initiatives.
AIA works with a range of organisations both from within and outside the agricultural sector.
By bringing different people and organisations to the table, we can harness our collective expertise and unique strengths, to tackle the industry’s biggest challenges together.
