Summary
LiveCorp and Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) have appointed an independent Chairperson for the joint Livestock Export Research, Development and Extension (LEP RD&E) Program. The appointment of an independent chair was a key recommendation of the LEP RD&E program review, recently completed by Noetic Group. This project will provide funds to remunerate this position for a period of up to three years.
Objectives
The Independent Chair is chair of both LERDAC and Management Committee and is primarily responsible for their operation as separate teams with distinct responsibilities. The Chair provides leadership and ensures each committee member provides effective input to the performance of that committee's responsibilities. In addition, the Chair is the key link between Management Committee and LERDAC.
Benefits to industry
The LEP RD&E Program invests in research and development (R&D) projects that support the improvement of outcomes for the livestock export industry. Through the projects it funds, the LEP RD&E Program also aims to foster the development and delivery of extension material to promote the awareness of project outcomes in industry and increase their adoption in business practices.
The RD&E Program operates in three key areas:
- Achieve continuous improvement in animal health and welfare across the supply chain.
- Improve supply chain efficiencies and regulatory performance.
- Enhance market access and conditions for both existing and new markets.
