VegNET was established in 2016 and aims to keep growers informed about current R&D activities, results and resources – supporting the adoption of industry best practice and bolstering vegetable production in key growing areas across the country. The program involves multiple projects that fund the positions of industry development officers (IDOs) in key vegetable-growing regions, the delivery of specialised events and distribution of R&D materials in those areas, and information gathering on future R&D project requirements.

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.
