  • inspection, treatment and certification for plant and plant products;
  • research and extension programs to help producers sustainably lift crop and stock yields and capacity;
  • development of best-practice farming methods and new crop for specific environments;

  • biosecurity and laboratory services for plant and animal health; and
  • monitoring of, and response to, emergency and endemic animal and plant pests and diseases.
