BOARD OF TRUSTEES

AgriSearch was formed in 1997 to provide a mechanism through which beef, dairy and sheep farmers could have direct involvement in production orientated research. Funds contributed to AgriSearch are used to commission research into the improvement and development of beef, sheep and dairy farming.

AgriSearch’s guiding principal is to provide practical benefit for primary producers to reduce costs, improve performance, drive innovation and improve welfare.  Duplication of existing R&D work is avoided and every effort is made to get maximum leverage from complementary funding sources.   

In recognition of the new challenges facing AgriSearch in 2014-15 the Board of Trustees (Directors) engaged in a comprehensive review of AgriSearch's strategy.  The process has now been completed and the strategy document can be viewed here.
