The CRC was awarded $34.5 Million and will leverage approximately $150 Million in cash and in-kind contributions from 53 partners working across 5 states and territories of Australia. The Solving Antimicrobial Resistance in Agribusiness, Food, and Environments (SAAFE) study will run for 10 years to help solve antimicrobial resistance (AMR) challenges posing a growing threat to Australia’s food, agribusiness, and environmental sectors.
ProAgni is a foundation partner and is dedicated to support research and development projects relating to antibiotic-free nutrition solutions for improving animal production.
“AMR is a health risk, and a social license risk. Market rules are changing, consumer expectation is changing,” said Fiona Soulsby, Co-founder and Chief Financial Officer of ProAgni. “Producers need access to tools and solutions to not only continue to access valuable export markets, but also exploit opportunities in new and emerging markets. ProAgni’s participation in CRC SAAFE, provides support to an environment for those tools and solutions to be developed and deployed, safeguarding our existing industry and providing market ready opportunities for 2022 and Beyond.”
