Summary
The AgriFutures Community Trust in Rural Industries (CTRI) program is a collaborative effort between AgriFutures Australia, Meat & Livestock Australia, and 7 other RDCs. Year 4 2023 results are available on the MLA website and on the AgriFutures website. In 2023, 91.5% of respondents agreed that rural industries are important to our way of life in Australia, marking a notable increase from 88.2% in 2022. The average level of acceptance of rural industries in 2023 was 3.9 as measured on the same 5-point scale. Acceptance has progressively increased from the baseline national survey in 2019, where acceptance was 3.6. This represents an increase of 12% in Australians that accept rural industries ‘very much’ or ‘extremely’ over the period 2019 - 2023.
Objectives
The CTRI program aims to provide insights to support rural industries in deepening their understanding and relationship with the Australian community.
