VegNET, is the national vegetable industry extension program that is run by growers, for growers.

The new VegNET program will be led and coordinated by AUSVEG, with on-the-ground extension to be undertaken by trained and experienced regional development officers in organisations with strong grower networks in vegetable producing regions.

VegNET is funded by Hort Innovation, using the vegetable research and development levy and contributions from the Australian Government. Hort Innovation is the grower-owned, not-for-profit research and development corporation for Australian horticulture.

The new VegNET project will run for five years and involves AUSVEG working closely with regional development officers who have strong grassroots connections with local growers. These officers will increase industry’s awareness of and engagement with best practices in high priority areas, and will help growers adopt practice changes to improve the productivity, profitability and competitiveness of their businesses. For more information on the national project head to their website here.

In Tasmania, VegNET will be brought to you by RM Consulting Group, as it has from the commencement of VegNET.

This site brings together resources developed over the course of the project along with useful resources and information from other projects & organisations.
