Projects
Building the Traditional Owner-led bush products sector
This project is led by an Indigenous Steering Committee with advice from industry and government. It will design a Strategic Sector Development and Research Priority Framework to guide the strategic growth of the Traditional Owner-led Bush Products sector in northern Australia. This framework will be developed from a review of relevant literature and the outcomes of a workshop with key Indigenous organisations to consider sector-wide opportunities, challenges, and priorities. It will include considerations of Indigenous IP and future protection of cultural knowledge in line with the Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit Sharing. The project is led by an Indigenous Steering Committee comprised of representatives from four Indigenous organisations from northern Australia, with support from the CSIRO/JCU research team and additional guidance from industry (ANFAB) and government.
