The Research-to-Practice Gap
At EvokeAG 2026, Caitlyn brought together leaders from 12+ ANZ agricultural research organisations for a closed workshop with one question: where does value get lost between research and the paddock? The answers were striking in their consistency and they had nothing to do with research quality.
This report captures what CSIRO, MLA, AgriFutures, Sugar Research Australia, FWPA, AMPC, and others told us about the real barriers to adoption. Five clear themes emerged, each backed by data from the room. Use it as a mirror for your own organisation — or as a conversation starter with your team.
What's inside:
Why 46% of respondents said the biggest gap in extension is findability, not funding
The language problem costing research organisations real-world adoption
How duplication of effort is draining levy-payer investment
A six-question benchmarking tool to assess where your organisation sits
How three organisations are already closing the gap with Caitlyn
