VegNET Tasmania
The second phase of the VegNET program commenced in early 2020 to keep Australian vegetable growers informed about current R&D activities, results and resources – supporting the adoption of industry best practice and bolstering vegetable productivity and profitability in key growing areas across the country. The program funds the positions of regional development officers (RDOs) in key vegetable-growing regions who are responsible for developing and executing regional extension plans. This includes identifying each region’s key priority issues and key regional resources and links - a critical step in ensuring growers receive assistance and information that meets their needs and will help them grow better crops and operate more efficient and profitable businesses. Depending on each regional plan, the VegNET RDOs will deliver specialised events and R&D materials that meet their growers’ needs. The events will include face-to-face opportunities, as well as remote ones during the current COVID-19 landscape.Depending on each regional plan, the VegNET RDOs will deliver specialised events and R&D materials that meet their growers’ needs.
