At the Bioeconomy Science Institute, our world-class science advances innovation in agriculture, horticulture, forestry, aquaculture, biotechnology and manufacturing; protects and enhances ecosystems from biosecurity threats and climate risk; and develops new bio-based technologies and products.
Our science develops new products, processes and technologies that optimise the use of biological resources to deliver food and materials from a resilient supply chain while protecting the natural environment. We translate science into real-world outcomes, impact and commercial success for our partners.
-
Bioenergy & biomaterials
We develop materials and fuel alternatives from biological resources, improving environmental sustainability and reducing waste. -
Bioprotection & biosecurity
We develop tools and technologies to safeguard animal and plant health, protecting productive and native ecosystems from biological threats. -
Climate resilience
We develop production systems to mitigate the effects of and adapt to the environmental volatility caused by changing climates. -
Digital & data
We collect data and develop digital tools that improve efficiency of research and value chains. -
Foods & ingredients
We develop whole foods, processed food products, and functional extracts and ingredients – with high nutrition, great taste and texture, and scientifically validated benefits – that consumers want to buy. -
Land-based production
We develop tools and technologies to optimise the production of high-quality plants and animals that earn maximum value with minimal harm to the environment. -
People & society
We build frameworks to enable collaborative decision making, ensuring communities play an active role in the design and use of our research. -
Seafood production
We develop new catch and aquaculture technologies, producing more seafood in sustainable ways. -
Sustainable environments
We develop tools and technologies to ensure the health of our native and productive environments, for this generation and the future.
