Our Vision is to have thriving desert knowledge economies
sustaining Australia’s inland environments.
The Desert Knowledge CRC will help to create economic
opportunities for desert people, and make a demonstrable difference
for remote Aboriginal communities, through the application of
excellent research and training.
We will contribute to developing the following broad outcomes in
the national interest:
-
Sustainable livelihoods for desert people based on new natural
resource and service enterprise opportunities that are
environmentally and socially appropriate.
-
Remote desert communities that are more sustainable to support
the presence of desert people, as a result of facilitating access
to more attractive services that are delivered more
efficiently.
-
Thriving desert economies that are based on unique desert
knowledge and which are more self-sufficient.
-
Increased social capital of desert people, their communities and
service agencies.
