Sustainable Production
Australian Eggs invests in research projects to improve the sustainability of the egg industry.
Our research, development and extension (RD&E) work program focuses on the needs identified and prioritised by the industry and there are rigorous processes in place to ensure each research project is relevant to egg farmers.
Research projects aim to provide solutions for egg farmers and industry stakeholders across all of the supply chain, generally in a 1-5 year delivery timeframe.
Resources and tools developed through the investment process are shared with farmers and other stakeholders with a view to industry adoption.
National Primary Industries RD&E Framework
Recognising that RD&E and innovation are key drivers to improving productivity and competitiveness in the agricultural sector, federal and state governments, RDCs, CSIRO, and universities developed a national framework for primary industries.
The framework is intended to strengthen Australia’s research capacity to meet emerging challenges, support collaboration and use resources as effectively as possible.

Sustainability Framework Report
Australian Eggs seeks to demonstrate how the egg industry is responding to that challenge and exploring the attitudes of Australians toward the Australian egg industry through the Sustainability Framework Report.
Sustainability Framework Process
The process for the Sustainability Framework Report is driven by Australian Eggs, research organisation Veconiq, the egg industry and the community. All Australian residents aged 18 years or older are invited to participate in a community survey that covers the impacts and contributions of the egg industry across areas such as the environment, animal welfare, food security, and livelihoods.
