    What was it all about?

    With a focus on biosecurity and the environment, this project supported the role and activities of industry strategy manager, Michelle McKinlay within the Australian Banana Growers’ Council, between 2014 and 2017.

    Michelle’s activities included researching and preparing biosecurity and environmental strategies and policies to support the banana industry.

    She also represented the banana industry in meetings and other stakeholder engagement mechanisms about issues relating to biosecurity and the environment, and was responsible for communicating developments in the biosecurity and environmental areas to growers through field days, workshops, grower meetings and articles in industry publications.

    The next project in this series is Banana strategic industry development manager (BA16008).
