Innovative grower? EOI open now! 2022

· · Leave a Comment

Project Catalyst is looking for the next wave of innovation that will help move the industry forward as it continues its journey toward a more productive, profitable, and environmentally friendly future. If you have a new and exciting practice change idea that you believe could be the next big thing in sugar cane production, to become the industry standard with grower support, practical implementation and a balance of environmental, social and economic factors, then this Expression of Interest (EOI) might be for you.

We are looking for growers to partner with experienced On-Ground Service Providers (agronomic and extension services) to detail their innovative practice change and design on-farm trials to validate the assumptions. If you are interested, please as your local Project Catalyst project partner to help you complete the Innovation EOI Form for them to send through to the project team at Catchment Solutions

There is no closing date for submissions, as great ideas don’t just happen when you want them too! Please use this form whenever you’re ready, but remember that the sooner you apply, the sooner we can put your concept to our funding partners for their consideration.

The Project Catalyst Annual Forum is a highly anticipated networking event for sugarcane growers, industry, and service providers, from across the three partner regions of Mackay/Whitsunday, the Burdekin, and Wet Tropics.

2021 provides an opportunity to learn from industry leaders, share knowledge and discuss ideas. The forum also allows us to celebrate Project Catalyst growers for their determination, dedication, enthusiasm, and enquiring minds. Their innovation has achieved excellent results over the last 12 years, inspiring broader adoption of trialled practices in the industry, from Mossman to Camila.

In Townsville, the program will include thought leaders, scientific experts and reef ecologists who will encourage and support you in your endeavours to continue broader adoption of proven practices. The growing Catalyst family celebrates the achievements of participants and invites each of you to identify potential candidates, to join us in our efforts to improve water quality, increase productivity and be more sustainable for future generations.
