High-value horticulture and global production networks in coastal Australia (ARC Discovery Project administered by the University of Sydney) (2023–2026)
Abstract:
High-value horticulture is booming in Australia's north-eastern coastal strip, where a multifunctional landscape
also provides various recreational, cultural and environmental services. This project aims analyses how
incorporation within agricultural global production networks interacts with diverse drivers of landscape change to
shape regional development outcomes. This will contribute to global production network theory by developing the
territorial nexus of these networks. Expected outcomes include improved policy formulations capable of
orchestrating a sustainable and equitable future for rural regions and livelihoods within Australia, with broader
contributions to understanding rural development pathways elsewhere in the world
