The Australian Research Council (ARC) Industrial Transformation Training Centre for Functional Grains (The Functional Grains ITTC) will transform the Australian Grains Industry from a commodity-based industry into a highly efficient industry producing high quality food and feed products that exceed market expectations.
The Centre is supported by the Australian Government, through a $2.15 million ARC grant. The Centre is also supported by industry partners:
The Functional Grains ITTC is an initiative of the Graham Centre for Agricultural Innovation.
David Hopkins (NSW DPI) is an internationally recognised meat scientist who has worked on the effect of feeds on ruminant meat characteristics and will co-supervise a student studying the scope to alter beef meat characteristics through diet manipulation.
We hope that with this cookbook, we can identify international consumer preferences, play a key role in helping to improve future grain storage, enhance human health with the recipes and drinks, improve food end-product quality, identify novel bioactive compounds, train the next generation of food scientists, and build long term collaborative food innovation systems.
