Description
The Crawford Fund is a non-profit, non-government organisation and registered charity that works to raise awareness of the benefits to Australia and developing countries from international agricultural research, commissions studies on research policy and practice, arranges specialist training by Australians with developing country scientists and farmers, and encourages the next generation of agriculture for development professionals.
What is international agricultural research?
Agricultural research designed to benefit developing countries (their farmers, their environment and their economies) and to foster mutual understanding can be defined as international agricultural research. Since the majority of people in less developed countries live in rural areas and are dependent on the land for employment and their food security, support for agricultural research is one of the most effective ways that Australia can assist in their development. There are significant benefits that flow back to Australia and the Australians involved.
History Established in June 1987 by the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE), the Crawford Fund was named thus in honour of the late Sir John Crawford and commemorates his outstanding services to international agricultural research.
The Crawford Fund depends on grants and donations from governments, private companies, corporations, charitable trusts and individual Australians. It also welcomes partnerships with agencies and organisations in Australia and overseas.
The Fund promotes and supports international R&D activities in which Australian research organisations and companies are active participants. It supports the work of the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) and CGIAR (Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research) and other international research centres.
