About Us
Through an improved understanding of the way natural and agricultural ecosystems work, the CRC will provide new plant-based land use systems that lessen the economic, environmental and social impacts of dryland salinity and thereby help to sustain rural communities. Our goals are to:
- Direct and influence plant-based research delivering agricultural production and processing systems that cope with, arrest and reverse dryland salinity, improve water quality and sustain rural communities.
- Create awareness, will and capacity to adopt plant-based solutions to dryland salinity for economic, environmental and social benefit to Australia.
- Provide an expanding pool of graduate researchers capable of solving the complex natural resource management issues facing Australia.
- Achieve effective collaboration among CRC researchers that transcends geography, agency, discipline and sector, interacts purposefully with industry and the community, and takes a lead in the effort to optimize the use of Australia's intellectual and research resources.
The structure of the CRC and its research are detailed in: Organisational Structure and Research Program Structure
