Abstract: The article analyzes the approaches to the transformation of the traditional system of state funding of applied research in agriculture that have occurred in recent decades in Australia. The article shows the legal, institutional and organizational aspects of the formation of a model for financing research on agricultural crops in the form of Industry research corporations, which are based on the principle of public-private partnership and the process of coordinating the interests, goals, tasks and priorities of agricultural producers, businesses and state agricultural management bodies. The funds generated from levies levied on producers and royalty payments under the EPR system are considered as additional alternative sources of financing for agricultural research. The main advantages of this model of agricultural research financing and its evaluation by international organizations are presented.
