The Food Integrity and Biosecurity Program aims to deliver research and development to enable Australia to maintain its ability to deal with the threats that pests, disease and bio-terrorism pose to food, crops and livestock and to enable access to national and international markets.
The program is funded from RIRDC core funds provided by the Australian Government.
The program has attracted co-investment from a number of sources, including the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet. Collaborative investment from other Rural Research and Development Corporations is being explored.
