SUMMARY:Biosecurity webinar
DESCRIPTION:Plant biosecurity is a series of measures that aid in protecting production areas from harmful insects\, weeds\, and various plant diseases. On-farm biosecurity best practices play a pivotal role in maintaining Australia’s reputation of producing high quality products. \nTo help you better understand on-farm biosecurity and how to implement practices on your farms that can protect you from damaging incursions\, the levy-funded VegNET program is hosting a free webinar with industry experts for vegetable growers. \nThis webinar will feature Dr Jessica Lye (AUSVEG)\, Greg Owens (NT Farmers) and growers speaking about what you should do to protect your farm through good hygiene and biosecurity management. \nTo register for this webinar\, click here. \nGrowers interested in learning more about biosecurity can also watch a VegNET video about cucumber green mottle mosaic virus in the Northern Territory and the biosecurity lessons learnt from the response to this virus. \nIf you’re interested in learning more about projects currently being delivered to support the Australian vegetable industry’s biosecurity\, visit the biosecurity and crop protection section of our website. \n

SUMMARY:Workshop: Food extrusion demonstration (Werribee South)
DESCRIPTION:Levy-funded project VG15076 Creating value from edible vegetable waste is developing new ways to improve recovery of edible material\, with a focus on brassica vegetables and carrots. Concepts being explored include extracting ‘nutraceuticals’ from vegetable waste\, processing edible waste into new ingredients and food products\, and using fermentation. \nThe CSIRO researchers working on VG15076\, which is a strategic levy investment under the Hort Innovation Vegetable Fund\, will be demonstrating extrusion technology in action at a workshop as part of the VegNET program being delivered in the northern\, western and south-eastern regions of Victoria. \nThis live demonstration will allow participants to touch and taste the extrusion of powdered broccoli or carrots into crunchy snacks\, and discuss opportunities for value added products within your business. \nFor more information\, see the event flyer. Levy-paying growers who are interested in attending this workshop can contact Clinton Muller on 0498 192 596 or at clintonm@rmcg.com.au. \nSome of this content first appeared in Hort Innovation’s quarterly Hortlink publication\, available in full here.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Food extrusion technology (Walpa)
DESCRIPTION:Levy-funded project VG15076 Creating value from edible vegetable waste is developing new knowledge and processes to improve recovery of edible material\, with a focus on brassica vegetables and carrots. Avenues of exploration include the extraction of ‘nutraceuticals’ from vegetable waste; the processing of edible waste into new fibre-rich\, healthy raw ingredients and food products; and the use of fermentation to develop next-generation fermented vegetables. \nThe CSIRO researchers working on VG15076\, which is a strategic levy investment under the Hort Innovation Vegetable Fund\, will be demonstrating extrusion technology in action at a workshop in Gippsland coordinated by VegNET East Gippsland. \nLevy-paying growers who are interested in attending this workshop can contact Shayne Hyman on 0417 330 081 or at shayne.hyman@eastgippslandfoodcluster.com.au.
