The Australia Research Council (ARC) Industrial Transformation Research Program (ITRP) Research Hub for Sustainable Crop Protection（www.crophub.com.au） is taking on the global challenge of transforming crop protection technology by delivering non-GM, non- toxic RNAi based fungicides for specific fungal diseases of crops. The Hub aims to develop and commercialise an innovative biological alternative to chemical fungicides targeting economically significant diseases of broadacre and horticultural crops. It addresses industry challenges of fungicide resistance, chemical residues in food, off-target effects and environmental harm.

The Australia-centric and globally relevant multidisciplinary Sustainable Crop Protection Hub will bring RNA-based bio-pesticides to agriculture, resulting in reduced chemical inputs, increased crop productivity, green credentials, sustainability, market access and capacity building, all of which will contribute to a more profitable and competitive food and agribusiness sector.

This project will focus on exploring the social license and consumer acceptance considerations of Bioclay being developed by the Hub. It includes exploring the perceptions of key stakeholders (i.e. advocacy groups, consumers, growers) and other impacted communities using a mixed methods research approach which may include semi-structured interviews, multi-stakeholder surveys and workshops. Knowledge and experience in employing these methods and stakeholder engagement along with excellent communication and interpersonal skills will be important.

澳大利亚研究理事会（ARC）工业转化研究计划（ITRP）可持续作物保护研究中心（Research Hub for Sustainable Crop Protection）正通过提供非转基因、无毒的基于 RNAi 的杀真菌剂来治疗特定作物真菌疾病，从而迎接作物保护技术变革的全球性挑战。该中心的目标是针对大面积种植和园艺作物中具有重要经济意义的病害，开发化学杀真菌剂的创新生物替代品，并将其商业化。它解决了杀真菌剂抗药性、食品中的化学残留、非目标效应和环境危害等行业难题。

以澳大利亚为中心、具有全球相关性的多学科可持续作物保护中心（Sustainable Crop Protection Hub）将为农业带来基于核糖核酸（RNA）的生物农药，从而减少化学投入，提高作物产量、绿色证书、可持续性、市场准入和能力建设，所有这些都将有助于提高食品和农业综合企业部门的盈利能力和竞争力。

本项目将重点探索由该中心开发的生物粘土的社会许可和消费者接受度方面的考虑因素。其中包括探索主要利益相关者（即倡导团体、消费者、种植者）和其他受影响社区的看法，采用混合研究方法，可能包括半结构式访谈、多利益相关者调查和研讨会。采用这些方法和利益相关者参与方面的知识和经验，以及出色的沟通和人际交往技能将非常重要。
