The Trust's primary effort is dedicated towards:
-
Seeking new initiatives which have the potential to result
in real, sustainable business opportunities for the people of the Falklands.
-
Carrying out
scientific research itself or in collaboration with appropriate partners.
-
Providing and sourcing consultancy advice to the Falkland
Islands Government and Falkland Islands Development Corporation
in a wide range of areas. To date these have been primarily rural development
issues.
