Summary

​This contract was to conduct an economic assessment of the investments into  pasture improvement,  feedbase RD&E and develop a market failure assessment framework to guide public, industry and private investment. The project was terminated before completion of a feedbase BCA (Component 2). Component 1 (updated  BCA) was completed highlighting benefits to producers from pasture improvement. Component 2  was undertaken via a different path, while the effort was placed on defining an improved market failure process (Component 3).​
