Microbial biosecurity is often overlooked when introducing agricultural species to Australia. As we research new legume species to make our $44 billion agricultural industries robust in the face of a changing climate, we need to be aware of the implications of the associated introduction of (beneficial) microbes. By exploring the globe for plants from regions that already have the climate we are transitioning towards, we have discovered new perennial forage legumes from which we can build a robust agriculture in the arid regions of southern Australia. This will have enormous national benefit in rural regions. This project will research the essential microbial inoculants associated with these new plants.

在向澳大利亚引进农业物种时，微生物生物安全往往被忽视。当我们研究新的豆类物种，使我们440亿美元的农业产业在气候变化的情况下保持强劲时，我们需要意识到（有益）微生物的相关引入的影响。通过探索地球仪，寻找来自已经有我们正在过渡的气候的地区的植物，我们发现了新的多年生饲料豆类，我们可以在澳大利亚南部的干旱地区建立一个强大的农业。这将在农村地区产生巨大的国家利益。本项目将研究与这些新植物相关的基本微生物接种剂。
