The primary purpose of the VG09002 report is to communicate the activities and outputs which have led to unprecedented growth in the EnviroVeg Program as a model for other industry development and extension programs. AUSVEG has adopted a number of innovative approaches to traditional industry development and extension work and applied these to EnviroVeg with great success. This report is the culmination of three years work, throughout which the Program has performed well beyond expectations. AUSVEG will further refine these approaches as the project moves into an exciting new period in project VG12008.

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.
