Summary
For many years the ABFA has been concerned that the industy's own production estimates and forcasts exceed official statisitics. Also, a lack of information about production capacity and production scheduling across the industry has resulted in supplies to market not being synchronised with demand. This has resulted in substantial variabiluity in seasonal price and availablity. This damages the quality brand being built for Australian farmed barramundi and the important attribute of far ....For many years the ABFA has been concerned that the industy's own production estimates and forcasts exceed official statisitics. Also, a lack of information about production capacity and production scheduling across the industry has resulted in supplies to market not being synchronised with demand. This has resulted in substantial variabiluity in seasonal price and availablity. This damages the quality brand being built for Australian farmed barramundi and the important attribute of farmed produce being consistancy of quality, supply and price. This project will supply industy particpants with essential information about likely production volumes and market supplies. the data will enablle farmers to better manage feed regimes, stocking and harvesting to take best advantage of market forecasts. Objectives: 1. Provide accurate data about production of Australian farmed barramundi 2. Provide independent and creditable data about likely future production, current and future stocking and harvest times for Australian farmed barramundi 3. Provide farmers with the capacity better to match production to forecast market conditions Read moreRead less

Effectiveness, Cost-effectiveness And Equity Of Strategies To Reduce The Burden Of Obesity-related Conditions
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$46,900.00
Summary
Decision-makers need a systematic, coordinated approach to the targeting and prioritisation of preventive strategies. But the evidence base for obesity interventions is for the most part small, narrow in approach, limited in impact, and lacking in cost-effectiveness and equity information. This thesis will add to the evidence base regarding the nature of the obesity epidemic in Australia and internationally and the relative cost-effectiveness of strategies to reduce the obesity burden.
