The Australian Development Gateway (ADG) strives to support members of the development community in their efforts to reduce poverty and enhance sustainable development in the Asia Pacific region. The site has been created with participation from members of government, private, academia and non-government organisations. User feedback mechanisms have been incorporated to guide future directions of the site.

Tropical forages database

The Tropical Forages database and selection tool is the result of a three-year project to boost productivity and sustainability of pastures in tropical and subtropical regions around the world.
 
Information on the adaptation, use and management of over 180 tropical and subtropical forage plants is presented as informative, illustrated fact sheets, incorporating the knowledge of over 100 international forage experts.
 
The database is the result of a major collaborative effort between
- CSIRO
- Queensland Department of Primary Industries and Forestry
- Australia's Centre for Biological Information Technology
- International Centre for Tropical Agriculture
