This project is readying a vegetable education resource, developed for use by teachers in Australian primary schools through previous project VG13089, prior to its national roll-out. Ultimately, the resource is expected to positively influence vegetable consumption and therefore increase demand. The project is referred to as ‘VERTICAL’ – the Vegetable Education Resource to Increase Children’s Acceptance and Liking.

This project has been funded by Hort Innovation, using the research and development levies listed below and contributions from the Australian Government. Hort Innovation is the grower-owned, not-for-profit research and development corporation for Australian horticulture.
