The Crawford Fund, founded in 1987, is celebrating 35 years of outcomes and impacts in 2022. We can add in ACIAR’s 40^th anniversary for good measure this year! These milestones provide an opportunity for all those who are a part of Australia’s rich history in agriculture for development to get together and celebrate but also to reflect and to consider the future.

With a focus on the benefits, impact and future challenges in the quest for improving food and nutrition security, “Celebrating Agriculture for Development – Outcomes, Impacts and the Way Ahead,” will be held in the Great Hall, Parliament House Canberra. On 15 August, we will have our popular specially-styled networking dinner, including the 2022 Sir John Crawford Memorial Address and on 16 August our one day Parliamentary Conference.

Speaking in Session 2 on Re-examining the Rewards and the Risks of Agri-food R&D at our Annual Conference is GFAR's chair and APAARI Executive Secretary Dr Ravi Khetarpal .
