The National Committee for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food consulted extensively with a broad representation of researchers and different organisations to create the plan.

About the committee

The National Committee for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (NCAFF) aims to:

• foster the key scientific disciplines that underpin productive and sustainable agriculture, fisheries and food industries in Australia
• link the Academy to scientists in these disciplines
• interact with relevant scientific societies
• serve as a link between Australian and overseas agricultural scientists, primarily through the International Union for Biological Sciences.
