Our Strategy: 2025-2030

Shaping Australia’s Leadership in Global Food Security

At the Crawford Fund for Food Security, our Strategy for 2025–2030 sets a clear course: to strengthen Australia’s role as a global leader in international agricultural research and development.

Our vision is a food-secure world. One where sustainable agriculture and resilient agri-food systems reduce hunger, malnutrition, and poverty—and contribute to global stability and peace.

Rooted in our core values—partnership, impact, value, and capacity—this Strategy is our blueprint for action. It champions collaboration across borders and sectors, focusing on:

  • Strengthening research partnerships, both within Australia and internationally
  • Building capacity, developing skilled individuals and institutions that can lead lasting change
  • Elevating public awareness, celebrating agricultural innovation and its vital role in the world

The Strategy brings together our key program areas—awareness, education, advocacy, good governance, and best practice—into a unified approach. With this foundation, we are not just responding to global food challenges; we are helping to shape the solutions.
