Geoffrey Gardiner Dairy Foundation
The Geoffrey Gardiner Dairy Foundation was established in 2001 to
increase the international competitiveness of the Victorian dairy industry.
The Foundation was named after Geoffrey Gardiner, a Victorian dairy
farmer and prominent industry leader, in memory of his strong long-term
visions and tireless efforts for the Victorian dairy industry. By carrying
the Gardiner name, the Foundation continues to inspire dairying families
to be advocates for their industry with pride and a focus on the future.
The Foundation's role is to fund activities for the benefit of the Victorian dairy industry and dairying communities. This includes research, development, extension, technology transfer, education, training, skills development and projects benefiting Victorian dairy communities.
Since it began the Foundation has funded the following projects;
- Fifty small projects to the value of $10.6 million, with the Foundation’s
contribution being $1.8 million.
- Five major research projects to the value of $19.3 million, with
the Foundation’s contribution being $4.4 million.
- Thirteen community development projects as a part of the small
project allocations, to the value of $0.5 million, including
drought support work.
- The National Herd Improvement Association (NHIA) for two years
at $300,000 per annum.
