Organic Research Group
A number of organic research and industry development activities are underway at UNE. Several staff and students have considerable experience and knowledge in organic agriculture, and have strong industry links developed over the past decade. UNE is expanding on it’s current organic work on several fronts along the supply chain: from farming inputs and on-farm production constraints, through to consumer and marketing issues, as well as the social and environmental impacts of organics. This site profiles some of the people involved and the exciting initiatives taking place.
