Sustainable food, forestry and fibre production
The Food Futures Institute is working to improve the accessibility and availability of sufficient, safe, sustainably-produced and nutritious food.
Research that secures the future: Food
Food security is the challenge of our generation.
The Food Futures Institute works to provide solutions on the sustainable use of limited land and water resources to economically and ethically improve food, forestry and fibre production.
Our successes range from MSA certification of beef and lamb quality, double cropping, reduced tillage practices and improved use of saline land and water, to creating better Wagyu marbled beef and better malting barley for beer.
