Applications are now open for the Tropical North Queensland Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub (TNQ Drought Hub) Hatch Pre-accelerator Program.
Farmers, innovators, researchers, students and entrepreneurs from across the northern patch are encouraged to apply for the program aimed to help solve problems within the local agriculture industry.
The program is open to anyone with an idea, product or solution that can improve on-farm efficiencies and make them more sustainable.
The free six-week online course provides candidates business coaching and access to a network of industry mentors and experts to help make their ideas a reality.
Kathy Rowling of Hillbillie Hogs Pig Farm, based in Dimbulah on the Atherton Tablelands, completed the TNQ Ag Innovation Hatch Program earlier this year and said it helped her bring into focus a clear business strategy.
Ms. Rowling said the program prompted her to look at other revenue streams for the business to ensure the venture would be able to ride out the slower times when pork production was low.
