Description

Food Quality of Australian Indigenous Grains: Impacts of Plant Environment. Little is documented about the viability of grains from Australian native grasses for commercial food applications and how this is influenced by plant growth environment. This project aims to fill this gap in our understanding by co-designing and disseminating knowledge with Gomeroi researchers. The project expects to (1) develop recommendations for native grain production based on insights into the environmental effects on grain quality for four native grasses, (2) train research students, and (3) enhance Indigenous partnership on Gomeroi Country in northern NSW. Benefits resulting from the project are the promotion of best-practice management of native grasslands and support for the development of an Indigenous-led native grains industry.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4503 - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Environmental Knowledges and Management. Lead: A/Prof Thomas Roberts
