Including our life as a Cooperative Research Centre (CRC).
Way back in October 2016 we submitted our bid to become a CRC, seeking $50m from the Federal government through its funding programme. Our successful bid complemented the $150m in cash and in-kind commitments we raised through 54 participants, including:
Since then, we have transformed that $50m government grant and $150m investment into a $400m research portfolio featuring over 60 research projects with more than 120 agrifood partners. ACIL Allen independently estimates our portfolio will generate an economic impact of $10bn by the end of our life as a CRC in 2027.
Now surely you agree that's reason enough to celebrate.
So, as we approach the final stages of our life as a CRC, we want to take the opportunity to showcase our core achievements as an organisation, and to thank our partners and contributors that have played an immensely important role in our journey.
This special one-off event will highlight our achievements and bring together the people and partners that have made a valuable and lasting contribution to the Australian agrifood sector since 2017.
Join us, government representatives, agrifood leaders, researchers and scientists in Canberra on Tuesday 5 May 2026 for the Food Agility Congress.
Tickets will be limited, so we encourage you to register your interest early.
The full program of speakers will be announced in February 2026.

And, if you thought this was the end of the Food Agility story, think again. We'll have more to say about that at the Congress.
