The Centre for Crop and Food Innovation undertakes research on major broadacre and horticultural crops to improve yield, and quality, and enhance tolerance and protection from biological and environmental stresses. The Centre for Crop and Food Innovation (CCFI) is ideally placed to capitalise on new technologies and investments in crop agriculture. It provides both strength and depth to undertake research on major broadacre and horticultural crops to improve yield, and quality and enhance tolerance and protection from biological and environmental stresses, and encompasses cutting-edge R&D in crop Agri-Bio, Agri-Tech and Food Tech. The Centre works to keep Australian farmers competitive in the world marketplace and undertakes research in crop genomics, genetics, transgenics, gene editing, molecular biology and physiology, soil and water management, new agricultural technologies including remote sensing and robotics, and the developing area of food technology. The Western Australian State Agricultural Biotechnology Centre (SABC) is the collaborative university Centre for R&D in agricultural and veterinary biotechnology in Western Australia. It provides platform technologies and world-class equipment and facilities for R&D in agricultural biotechnology to researchers from universities, state government and industry. At any time 15-20 research groups and companies rent space and use the SABC facilities. It is based at Murdoch University in Perth. SABC provides state-of-the-art facilities and equipment enabling multi-disciplinary research in biotechnology which underpins the agricultural and veterinary industry, for the benefit of the community.
