Joint funding of agricultural research by producers and government in Australia.

Abstract: This chapter outlines the current Australian rural research and development (R&D) funding system, and examines its key features. The levy system that supports the network of research and development corporations is then considered in detail. Recent trends in research funding are discussed, and lessons are drawn from Australia's experiences in rural R&D funding.

“…Cash, 2001;Dalrymple, 2005). Examples are research councils (Kassam et al, 2004) or in the case of farmer-funded research there are bodies such as commodity boards and producers' organizations which act as intermediaries (see Brennan and Mullen, 2002). There are also specialized advisory organizations which fulfill such a role in matching demand and supply (see Klerkx and Leeuwis, in press a).…”

Byerlee and Echeverría (2002); Brennan and Mullen (2002); Estrada et al (2002); Kangasniemi (2002); and Allegri (2002) have described the experience of countries such as Australia, Colombia, Africa, and Uruguay and respectively defined some lessons that should to be observed by countries with the intention of implementing their own system of research levies:…”
