THE PUBLIC AWARENESS PROGRAM

The public awareness program aims to make more widely known to governments, policymakers, the media and the general public the agricultural, scientific, social, environmental and economic benefits that accrue both internationally and to Australia from international agricultural research and development, and to encourage greater support and participation in these activities.

Public awareness activities include national press club luncheons, seminars, inter-governmental round-tables, and face-to-face meetings with senior members of the State and Federal governments, civil servants and non-government aid groups. The Crawford Fund's annual conference, held in Parliament House, Canberra, gathers together international and national speakers on topics of direct relevance to feeding and greening the world.

Journalists are encouraged to contact The Public Awareness Coordinator Ms Cathy Reade for the latest news and cutting-edge developments in agricultural R&D and education, and for international and national contacts on issues relating to international agricultural R&D and education or to be put on the mailing list for press releases and other materials.
