    What is it all about?

    The project aims to fast-track agricultural technology adoption by giving vegetable growers practical, real-world access to the latest innovations across field production, protected cropping, and the supply chain. 

    Delivered by the Queensland Department of Primary Industries in partnership with Cussons Media, AusAgriTech and AUSVEG, the project will feature major events such as the Gatton AgTech Showcase (October 2025), two regional satellite events, and a digital technology catalogue. 

    These initiatives are designed to equip vegetable growers, including onions, sweetpotato and potato, with practical insights and viable technology solutions to boost productivity, reduce labour dependence, and enhance sustainability.

    This multi-industry project is a strategic levy investment in the Onion, Potato - Fresh, Potato - Processing, Sweetpotato and Vegetable Funds
