Rural Social Research Group


About the Research Group

The Rural Social Research Group undertakes social research that is relevant to agriculture and natural resource management  in order to improve the quality of life in rural and regional areas, to promote better understanding of rural and regional social issues amongst decision makers and management agencies, and to contribute to a socially, ecologically, and economically sustainable future for rural and regional communities.

The Research Group is part of the Tasmanian Institute of Agricultural Research (TIAR) at the University of Tasmania. TIAR is a partnership between the University, the Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries and Water.
