How We Assess
Learn more about our criteria for assessing projects
1
Cross-sectoral
Our initiatives must be cross-sectoral in nature and scalable across agriculture, fisheries and forestry.
2
Problem definition
We start by understanding the problem to be solved, who it is a problem for, and why?
3
Catalytic
AIA initiatives must be attractive to investors. We assess ideas on their potential to catalyse additional investment from the public or private sector.
4
Transformational
We aim to deliver transformational versus incremental impact, through initiatives that are of national significance for Australian agriculture, fisheries and forestry.
