Tamworth Agricultural Institute (TAI) is dedicated to helping ensure agricultural industries and rural communities remain economically viable and ecologically sustainable.

Industry-driven research projects are complemented by advisory, regulation and education activities that ensure effective communication with the farming community and agribusiness.

The Institute focuses on programs that are relevant to the state's agricultural industries. It works closely with other research organisations such as research and development corporations, cooperative research centres, CSIRO and a number of universities.
