[Tran, Lorraine I]

Dear colleague

The Food, Fibre and the Future - Report on the surveys of students' and teachers' knowledge and understanding of Primary Industries conducted by ACER on behalf of Primary Industries Education Foundation has received media coverage over the last couple of days.

Rebuilding the Agricultural Workforce Report to the Business/Higher Education Round Table
is available at http://apo.org.au/research/rebuilding-agricultural-workforce


Both reports make interesting reading.

Regards, Lorraine.
