Thank you very much for the question.
The science and technology website talks about some of the work we do in strategic science, and how we identify the areas where the research dollars are going. We have a very elaborate and robust process for calls for proposals that come in based on the needs of the sector, some of the work that has been done by other organizations, and where science needs to go in agriculture.
Within the sector we have nine sector strategies. We have four objectives within the sector strategies: productivity; environmental sustainability; attributes, which means food or non-food attributes; and threats to agriculture. Then based on that, areas and gaps are identified for every single strategy. These gaps within science and technology are identified in consultation with the stakeholders so that we are able to look at exactly where the calls for proposals need to come from. That's how the funding is allocated for science and technology.
There is a robust system by which funding is being allocated into the science and technology branch.
