SUMMARY:Workshop: Women in farm business (Bundaberg)
DESCRIPTION:In October\, QFF is hosting workshops to connect with women in farm businesses. The workshops will look at the range of leadership spaces where women could have an impact and open discussions about the barriers that constrain women from stepping into wider leadership roles and the support or resources that would be useful to help them move ahead in business and beyond. \nThese workshops are an opportunity for women to pause for a moment\, consider their options and aspirations\, and plan their next move. \nJess Fealy\, Mareeba mango and avocado grower and Queensland finalists in the 2017 Rural Women’s Awards\, will talk about the strategies she has used to build her networks and influence\, and there will be some other inspiring speakers as well. \nThese workshops are funded through the Office of Small Business under the Advancing Women in Business program and also supported by Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) and AustSafe Super. The workshops will help QFF prepare recommendations for the best way forward for leadership development for women in Queensland’s agricultural sector. \nFor more information\, see the event website.

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.
