Grower Group Network : Final report

Abstract

SRDC commenced funding Grower Group Innovation Projects (GGIPs) in 2005 engaging with Grower Groups, this new funding stream required a higher level of support and management services, than had been traditionally offered by SRDC.

In 2008, after a review of the GGIP program, Grower Group Services (GGS) were formed, successfully applied for SRDC funding, and took over the role of the 3 part time SRDC project officers previously employed.

The four year project titled “Grower Group Network” (GGN) continued the roles as delivered by the Project Officers, but also delivered additional outputs designed to increase SRDC’s return on investment in the GGIP program, and maximise the potential benefits that this exiting funding steam offers the Australian Sugarcane Industry.
