Vege growers’ resource just a click away
AUSVEG is encouraging Australian vegetable growers to make the most of a new online resource which has put a wealth of productivity-enhancing R&D information at their fingertips.
The recently-launched Knowledge Hub – housed on the AUSVEG website – provides a centralised platform for growers to access and keep up to date with more than 3,000 pieces of levy-funded R&D project information, resources and research.
AUSVEG is the national peak industry body for Australia’s over 3,600 vegetable, potato, and onion producers, who account for 3.8 million tonnes of vegetable production worth $5.7 billion in farmgate value annually. This accounts for one third of Australia’s $16.98 billion horticulture industry.
Covering everything from agtech, biosecurity, soil health, irrigation, business development, to consumer insights and much more, the new Knowledge Hub is home to nearly 1,700 R&D project overviews, over 1,100 project reports, more than 400 fact sheets, and hundreds of articles, videos, case studies and podcasts.
“By consolidating relevant and valuable information into a single platform, the Knowledge Hub gives growers a new tool to make informed decisions, address challenges, and adopt innovative practices to benefit their businesses, using key R&D resources that their levies have funded,” AUSVEG national manager communications, Andrew MacDonald said.
The Knowledge Hub can be accessed at www.ausveg.com.au/knowledge-hub/
