    What was it all about?

    From 2019 to 2022, this project delivered effective and timely communications to ensure Australian onion growers and other industry stakeholders were kept up-to-date with the latest R&D outcomes, marketing activities, and other industry news and information. In communicating R&D in particular, the ultimate goal was to lead to practice change for growers, boosting productivity and profitability.

    The regular communication channels produced and maintained by the project include but weren’t limited to:

    • An annual magazine focusing on the latest R&D updates for onion growers, available online here.
    • Quarterly e-newsletter, The Onion Project, with relevant industry information, available online here.
    • Podcasts (audio recordings) highlighting industry R&D, marketing and other information, available online here.
    • Videos detailing R&D work, available online here.
    • Annual disease alert poster, available online here.
    • Case studies, to showcase practice change associated with the adoption of R&D, available online here.
    • Regional levy-payer meetings and corresponding grower walks/field days, held twice yearly, with details circulated in industry channels.
