Specialist grower groups enhancing BMP packaging and adoption in Innisfail, and Babinda districts : Final report IBS002
(Innisfail Babinda Cane Productivity Services, 2008) Horsford, B
It was generally accepted throughout the sugar fraternity that grower group structures within the Innisfail / Babinda region were generally disjointed and, at times, lost credence by peers through the lack of network communications available to the existing group structures. Funding opportunities for these loose groups and some individuals were limited as government agencies demanded accurate grant applications, community consultation, fiscal accountability and prompt acquittal of funds. Even with this ad hoc approach there was a history of innovation (from the region) and it was felt structured and better organised grower groups would assist greatly in nurturing and developing these innovative ideas. The concept was to develop the skills of key leaders to lead and develop the group processes throughout the district whilst recognising the unique locality and nature of the industry in this region.

Building grower capacity in steps : Final report REL001
(Sugar Research and Development Corporation (SRDC), 2008) Roberts, K
When research began with this group, the group had two main aims. One was to have an outward focus by expanding and become involved with the industry and community and the other to continue with innovative farm trials. Energy for the first aim waned and with it, energy for this project. Even though this project ended early and did not reach its full potential as intended, there was a significant amount of learning between researchers and group members. A lot was learnt about what was involved in implementing group members’ vision of an expanded group, the benefits that this will bring and the steps needed to implement the vision.
