Truffle Quality Survey
A student of the University of Melbourne and an Associate of our Association, Nathan Carter, is undertaking an honours research project at the University of Melbourne, titled Quality Assurance of Australian Grown Truffles. The research aims to assess the perceptions of stakeholders towards the development of a quality assurance scheme for inoculated seedlings, trees and truffles, a vital step in the development of a quality system for the Australian Truffle Industry.
As the primary form of data collection, Nathan has developed a descriptive industry-based questionnaire. The research has been granted human ethics approval by the University and participants remain anonymous. The research has the full support of the Association and the results of the will be made available to members at the conclusion of the study.
