There is a need for egg businesses to demonstrate good environmental performance and stewardship as changes to environmental regulation adds uncertainty to industry investment decisions.

Investing in R&D that provides a single source of information to assist industry and regulators in the development process will reduce the time and cost of developing new facilities and/or expanding existing facilities. Furthermore, it will enable industry to maintain high levels of environmental management.
