Aus4Innovation

We’re helping build Vietnam’s innovation capacity and deliver agriculture and food research to market.

Environmental impact of diets

We know a poor diet can have severe outcomes on our waistline but they can also have important impacts on the environment too.

Exploring alternative future food systems

Together with partners, we are improving capacity to simulate complex interactions in the global food system.

FarmPrint is officially in Beta launch!

FarmPrint is a tool to support the agricultural sector to evaluate, benchmark and report on the greenhouse gas emissions of Australian farms.

Global Burden of Animal Diseases

We're part of a global consortium that aims to quantify the societal impacts of livestock diseases to better inform future investments in animal health.

Aquatic foods in healthy and sustainable diets

We are analysing how aquatic foods could further contribute to healthy and sustainable diets around the world.

Labour impacts on agriculture

The supply and quality of labour affects the productivity, profitability and long-term sustainability of all agricultural commodities. Recent analysis suggests the horticulture sector is particularly vulnerable in this area.

LiveGAPS

Together with global partners, we're providing the data needed to improve the livelihoods of livestock farmers in developing countries.

SDGs for business

CSIRO is partnering with agribusiness to deliver the Sustainable Development Goal outcomes for Australia and the globe.

The SIAGI project

We are working with Australian and international partner organisations on a project which aims to achieve socially inclusive and sustainable agricultural intensification in West Bengal and Bangladesh.

Valuing Sustainability FSP

The Valuing Sustainability Future Science Platform is developing next generation science that provides confidence that actions across supply chains lead to positive outcomes for land, water, biodiversity, and people.

Marine

Global marine pollution

We're taking on the world’s largest plastic pollution survey, working with countries across the globe to apply science to reduce the amount of litter entering our oceans.

Landscape Remediation

We have achieved a better understanding of how sediments and nutrients reach the Great Barrier Reef and offered ways to mitigate their impact.

Impacts on the Great Barrier Reef

Our scientists are working hard to understand and find innovative ways to improve the quality of water reaching the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area (the Reef).

Monitoring and measurement

Measuring the movement of water, soil and nutrients is important for understanding the influence of land management on the environment and the cost effectiveness of modifying management practices.

Turtles and plastic

The risk posed by plastic pollution to the world's declining sea turtle populations has been quantified for the first time.

New oil spill response technology

Oil spills can cause significant environmental damage. We have developed new oil spill response technology that focuses on removing small oil droplets. And it all starts off with the humble domestic sponge ...

Waste management

Circular Economy

Our circular economy research provides innovative applied science to increase sustainable waste recovery for government, industry and communities.

A circular economy roadmap for plastics, tyres, glass and paper in Australia

There are national and international benefits for creating a circular economy in Australia.

Woomera radioactive waste

We are investigating the best options to prepare waste material stored at the Woomera Test Range in South Australia for transfer and acceptance at the proposed National Radioactive Waste Management Facility (NRWMF).

Design

Urban green infrastructure

We have collaborated with urban researchers and practitioners to set a national research agenda for green infrastructure in our cities.

Heating and cooling

Simple changes to the way to use lighting, heating and cooling in your home can help you save energy. This guide provides some easy energy-saving tips.

Urban Living Labs

With the urban environment facing a variety of environmental, social, economic and technological challenges, Urban Living Lab offers a new way for researchers, industry, community and government to co-innovate; moving our cities into a more liveable, sustainable and resilient future.

Responsible Innovation FSP

Research that looks at the interface of science and society, allowing emerging technologies to deliver positive impacts.

Swapping the focus on waste management to circular economy

As the national science agency, we have the expertise to guide a successful circular economy. We are kick-starting the process by providing the Australian Government with a roadmap for plastics, tyres, glass and paper.
