This proposal will contribute to an environmentally sustainable Australia in two ways. First, the research will highlight barriers to the uptake of environmental standards among fruit and vegetable growers as well as potential strategies to encourage certification. Second, the research will assess the extent to which compliance with internationally harmonised standards actually assists or encourages farmers to address local priority environmental issues. Improved understanding of the social and environmental impact of standards will highlight domestic policy and regulatory shifts which may be necessary to maximise positive environmental outcomes.

该提案将从两个方面促进澳大利亚的环境可持续发展。首先，这项研究将突出水果和蔬菜种植者采用环境标准的障碍，以及鼓励认证的潜在战略。其次，研究将评估遵守国际协调标准实际上帮助或鼓励农民解决当地优先环境问题的程度。提高对标准的社会和环境影响的理解将突出国内政策和监管的转变，这可能是最大限度地发挥积极的环境成果所必需的。
