The RIRDC Pasture Seeds Program ains to maximise opportunities and minimise risks for a profitable and sustainable pasture seeds industry based on reputation for reliable supply, domestically and internationally, for a range of quality pasture species.

The program is funded by statutory levies paid by industry participants. This levy revenue is matched on a dollar for dollar basis by the Australian Government up to 0.5 per cent of GVP of farm production.

R&D investments are guided by the RIRDC Pasture Seeds R&D Advisory Committee following the strategic direction laid out in the Pastures Seeds Five-Year R&D Plan 2008-2013.
