Summary

This project aims to support interns to develop and produce the next three versions of the Student Compendium (2026, 2027 and 2028); connect students to primary industries, and industry to students while assisting the next generation to find opportunities to broaden career horizons; and create an innovative, unique resource as a “call everyone to action” on all the SA Blueprints, particularly the SA Grains Industry Blueprint.

Latest Research Projects

Ken Schaefer internship in applied grains research (AEP0525)

The aim of this project is to improve the capacity of grains research, development and extension in the Eyre Peninsula region through the employment of an annual intern within local research organisations in 2026. This project will also further develop applied research skills of recent graduates so they will be able to make an improved contribution to the grains RD&E industry in SA. This internship has been named in honour of inaugural SAGIT Chair Ken Schaefer and recognises his contribution to agriculture on the EP. This project is a co-investment, with the SA Drought Hub providing $50,000 of the total funding.

A new high-value noodle market for SA growers – Phase II (AEG0325)

The aim of this initiative is to establish a new high-value hard noodle wheat market in South Australia. This project seeks to enhance returns for growers by boosting and stabilising the demand for suitable Australian Hard (AH) wheat varieties intended for premium noodles targeting Asian markets. The project is a co-investment, with GRDC providing 50% of the total funding.

Improving barley genetic diversity for enhanced drought resilience (UAD3325)

The project aim is to increase the genetic diversity available to barley breeders to improve complex traits for the benefit of South Australian growers, with a focus on drought resilience. This will include investigating two novel yield component loci from wild barley, which could improve the productivity of barley and its adaptation to warmer and drier environments. Researchers predict this approach will help boost the sustainability of grain production systems.
