We're a team of researchers, agronomists, and industry specialists passionate about helping growers get better results. Our focus spans the entire horticultural journey, from before the seed goes in the ground to the moment produce reaches the consumer.

Based in Sydney with our team on the ground across Australia, we work on real-world challenges in crop production, postharvest handling, sustainability, and supply chain.


We work closely with growers to test new technologies on farm and translate the latest science into practical steps that are communicated back to the industry.

Tune into our channel to find out what we are learning across our broad range of projects. You might hear from us out in the field, on farm with a local grower, chatting with leading experts, or sitting down with the people shaping the industry here in Australia.
