Training course held in Orange, New South Wales

In 1999, the ATSE Crawford Fund expanded its agricultural training scheme in New South Wales with the appointment of a NSW Committee chaired by Australia's former Minister for Primary Industry and Energy, the Hon John Kerin.

The Committee is identifying and expanding agricultural training opportunities, relevant to the NSW rural sector, that will bring together Australian experts and people from developing countries to improve food production and processing in the Third World.

Current emphasis of training programs is in areas having high value to developing countries in the Asian region and in which competence and experience of a very high order resides amongst government agencies and universities within NSW. These include: plant and animal breeding, animal disease diagnosis and preparedness, weed management, natural resource management - land, forestry, fisheries and water, and food safety and preservation.
