About

Recently Horticultural Australia Limited and Queensland Primary Industries and Fisheries commenced a project aiming at improving the business of vegetable growing for young Queensland vegetable farmers.

Part of the project includes a series of information seminars and networking opportunities along with business skilling and value chain workshops, and short study trips.

Generally if you are less than 45 years of age and are involved in the horticulture industry you are welcome to be participate.

If you want to know anymore, just post a question to the blog.

Cheers
