Resumen
Descripción
This Sir John Crawford Memorial Address touches on
aspects of the balance between demand for and supply
of food, and on visionary approaches to food security
that emphasise the importance of markets as well as
production itself. Sir John Crawford had the vision of
Australian economic integration with Asia. We need to
draw on his vision and do the right thing by Australian
farmers, the nation and the region by meeting the food
security challenge head-on through rational economic
policy making.
The Sir John Crawford Memorial Address has been held
since 1985, in honour of the distinguished Australian civil
servant, educator and agriculturalist in whose name the Crawford Fund was
established. Sir John was a remarkable Australian who contributed at the
highest levels, and was a passionate supporter of international agricultural
research for development.
