SUMMARY:Workshop: Agrichemical pest management (Clyde)
DESCRIPTION:AUSVEG Agrichemical Pest Management Needs and Priorities Project Coordinator\, Patrick Arratia\, is working with growers and stakeholders in the Australian vegetable industry to establish a prioritisation process. The prioritisation process will help develop an understanding of the Australian vegetable industry’s chemical needs\, which will result in a greater ability to drive more crops onto on-label use rather than minor use permits. The project’s objective is to coordinate vegetable industry agrichemical pest needs by identifying and prioritising potential gaps through the implementation of an effective prioritisation process for the industry. \nIf you grow leeks and celery in the Frankston\, Clyde\, Cranbourne and Mornington Peninsula regions\, come along to the workshop to discuss and contribute to an effective pest and disease prioritisation process and understand more about the project. This event is part of a strategic levy investment under the Hort Innovation Vegetable Fund.

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.
