I appreciate your post and share your concern...it has been surprising to me how little money is spent on education (relative to the overall resource commodity boom driven surplus) in general and Agriculture in particular.
Yes, I do have a vested interest in Agriculture but I think an opportunity was lost in the recent budget to create an "Education nation" and also fix some of the problems with current and future water availability and allocation...but I'm starting to rant...
On the positive side, future food shortages will help aide in the fight against obesity in Australia!
