$6.4 million boost for cool climate horticulture growers
07 October 2022
Scientists are giving Aussie horticulture growers in cooler climates
the opportunity to participate in a $6.4M research trial program to help
industry adapt to climate change.
Being delivered through Hort Innovation and led and co-funded by the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture (TIA), with support from national and international industry partners, the five-year project aims to grow cool climate horticulture production by 20 per cent.
Trial sites are being set up in Tasmania, and the research team will design experiments to be relevant across cool climate regions such as south-west Western Australia, the Adelaide Hills, South-East Victoria and high-altitude areas of New South Wales and South-East Queensland. Find out more:
