The project outputs showcase successful people in the vegetable supply chain through the production of 17 filmed case studies representing key veegtable growing regions across Australia, and a variety of supply chain roles. The success of this project is in making viewers of the interviews think differently about the Australian vegetable industry, and realise there are diverse opportunities associated with working in the industry.
