Australian New Crops Web Site

Through this service we hope to improve the communications network among new crops workers in Australia. It is a common misconception that "new crops workers" are all scientifically or production orientated. We recognise that new crops must be developed within a whole industry framework and therefore we welcome inputs from people in a wide range of disciplines.
