Dr Ford's research delivers social, cultural and economic benefits to Australia, particularly for rural Australia, for women and for aging Australians. Her work will increase community understanding about working life in rural Australia; the relationship between land, agriculture, gender and national identity; and the ways women combined family responsibilities with farm work - issues central to debates about the role of rural Australia and work/life balance. Her project will contribute to rural communities' sense of identity, as well as promote heritage tourism, important to regional economic development. It will also develop partnerships between universities and rural communities and improve the global visibility of Australian research.

福特博士的研究为澳大利亚带来了社会、文化和经济效益，特别是对澳大利亚农村、妇女和老年人。她的工作将增加社区对澳大利亚农村工作生活的理解;土地，农业，性别和民族认同之间的关系;以及妇女将家庭责任与农业工作相结合的方式-这些问题是关于澳大利亚农村角色和工作/生活平衡的辩论的核心。她的项目将有助于增强农村社区的认同感，并促进对区域经济发展至关重要的遗产旅游。它还将发展大学和农村社区之间的伙伴关系，提高澳大利亚研究的全球知名度。
