AgriFutures Insect Industry Program of Research
Led by the University of Adelaide and supported by AgriFutures Australia through its Emerging Industries program, a new $2 million program of research is set to unlock the potential of Australia’s insect industry by addressing critical barriers to growth.
The research program is guided by the Australian Insect RD&E Plan, in consultation with producers through the Insect Protein Association of Australia, to support the long-term growth and viability of the Australian insect industry.
