We've worked with industry to breed perfect prawns and competitive cotton, and with governments to develop sustainable fishing frameworks.

Fighting the global threat of cereal rust disease

CSIRO research is preventing crop losses, improving grain quality and yields for Australian grain growers.

Innovative technology for processing food

High Pressure Processing is a non - thermal technology that can produce high quality foods that maintain the freshness and nutritional attributes for an extended chilled shelf life, without compromising their microbiological safety.

Agricultural development and intensification in northern Australia

CSIRO's robust research informs decision-making to realise the significant opportunities for the region's sustainable development.

Growing the Tasmanian Atlantic salmon farming industry

The collaboration between Salmon Enterprises of Tasmania (SALTAS) and CSIRO has delivered significant economic gains.

Increasing competitiveness for Australia's wine and grape industry

CSIRO’s novel grape varieties and technical innovations achieving increased yield and quality.

Maximising yields and minimising costs for Australian grain growers

Yield Prophet® decision support tool provides paddock-specific yield forecasts to optimise farmers’ investments.

A more sustainable and productive aquaculture industry

To improve the sustainability and productivity of Australia’s prawn industry, we bred the ‘perfect prawn’ and developed a new plant-based prawn feed.

Securing the future of Australia's commercial fisheries

CSIRO research leads to replenished fish populations and improved economic performance of fisheries.

Transforming the cotton industry for competitive results

Australia has the highest cotton yields in the world, exporting $2.7 billion of cotton each year. We've contributed to this success through plant breeding and improvements in crop, pest and post-harvest management.
