Summary
The Australian Grasslands Association was a partnership between three farmer-driven organisations: the Grassland Society of Southern Australia, the Grassland Society of New South Wales and Evergreen Farming of Western Australia. The Association's goals were to increase the involvement of those organisations with the scientific community by providing a forum through which current research can be published.
One of the most important roles of this Association was to act as a conduit for feeding that research back into the farming sector (via the partner organisations). Following on from the successful 2012 Australian Legumes Symposium, this event brought together key researchers and scientists from both the private and public sectors and provided a forum for current research within the perennial grasses area to be presented and debated and for ideas to be exchanged.
