rural communities by brokering and investing in 
research relating to these issues . 
The bilateral and regional technical and financial 
assistance (that covers majority of Austral ia's aid)

Federal and State Government 
agencies ("Other Government 
Departments") sponsored official 
exchanges with developing 
countries on agriculture and food
