Community Trust in Rural Industries - A framework for advancing social acceptance of the agriculture sector in Australia - A joint RDC initiative

Project number: 2019-042
Project Status:

Budget expenditure: $105,000.00
Principal Investigator: Jenny Medway
Organisation: AgriFutures Australia

Need

AgriFutures Australia, on behalf of the RDC funding partners, is seeking to develop a sector wide understanding of community trust in rural industries. This scope includes identifying key and material issues with industry stakeholders in order to effectively baseline community sentiment quantitatively. This baseline will then provide data against which additional data collection activities in years two and three may be used to assess sector initiatives designed to improve trust, monitor changes in community trust and its drivers due to external factors, and clearly communicate sector sustainability narratives to key external and internal stakeholders. Moreover, there is significant power in approaching this as a collective of agricultural industries to develop a consolidated, consistent framework for community trust that may then be used in industry-specific ways as required.

Objectives

1. A stakeholder engagement process to determine the industry’s key social license issues
2. An annual quantitative benchmark survey of community sentiment, including issues identified in the stakeholder engagement process
3. Pathways and models for improving community trust and acceptance over time
4. A report outlining the social insights and trust building strategies
5. Supporting communication material to facilitate interpretation of the data insights and research outcomes

Summary

The Community Trust in Rural Industries (CTRI) project has been conducted since 2019, almost 20,000 Australians projecting their voices into the heart of rural industry decision making via a representative annual national survey. The longitudinal nature of this research has provided a rich set of data, illuminating the dynamic nature of community sentiment, the pathways to deeper trust in and acceptance of rural industries, and the challenges that rural industries must continue to focus on.

Implementing the FRDC's 2020-25 R&D Plan - Strategic activities

Project number: 2020-068
Project Status:
Completed
Budget expenditure: $290,972.50

Organisation: Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC)
Project start/end date: 29 Sep 2020 - 29 Jun 2026

Need

The FRDC's new R&D Plan signals a change of direction, building on systems thinking, and acknowledges a need to find new and better ways to make progress, including building on design-thinking to ensure that the right problems are solved, the right way. There is opportunity, as this is done, to leverage off shifting occupational norms associated with the continuing COVID-19 pandemic by experimenting with new, less expensive, more inclusive and democratic ways of thinking and working together that might endure into the future.

The FRDC’s new R&D Plan signals an intent to co-invest and collaborate more actively in order to deliver impact, and this will be particularly important in early years to overcome revenue limitations associated with COVID impacts.

The 2020-25 R&D Plan also describes an intention to develop and implement a new performance measurement framework to coordinate the monitoring of organisational progress against the five R&D Plan outcomes, as well as corporate performance. The aim is for the framework to be adaptive and updateable as new information becomes available, and as benchmarks for best practice change.

To assist in planning and investing in a complex and adaptive system it is proposed to scope and implement new process for collating and generating insights from intelligence, that will provide continuous feedback on external conditions, technology changes and external factors likely to be relevant in the future.

This proposal seeks to enable building of the foundations for implementing the FRDC's 2020-25 R&D Plan, scoping and implementing the new intelligence system, delivery of consultation to guide implementation of the plan, and enabling finalisation and implementation of the new performance management framework.

Objectives

1. Deliver roadmaps to guide implementation of R&D Plan 2020-25
2. Maintain and leverage national and international partnerships to deliver R&D Plan 2020-25
3. Develop and implement performance management framework to support implementation of R&D Plan 2020-25
4. Develop and implement system for gathering and using intelligence
