A research team from RMIT University is looking to speak with growers about their practices and activities on-farm to understand the main difficulties you face in your daily tasks.

The team is working in collaboration with CSIRO to find ways to make life easier for Australian vegetable growers in any way possible, and by answering a few quick questions about your growing practices, you can help the team understand any difficulties that you encounter during the course of your vegetable production.

Once they’ve got a solid understanding of the problems facing growers in our sector, the team hopes to propose and work on some potential solutions.

If you’re interested in taking part in this research, please send an expression of interest via e-mail to hormoz.marzbani@rmit.edu.au with your best contact number and availability. The questions the team will ask shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes of your time.

If you have any other questions about the project, please get in touch with team member Hormoz Marzbani from RMIT using the e-mail listed above.
