The hub’s Agricultural Innovation & Commercialisation team, Tony Matchett and Kara-Glenn Worth, along with the Northern Adoption Officer, Keerah Steele, embarked on an insightful visit to Mulgowie Farming Company’s farms in Bowen and Home Hill. Their visit focused on sharing insights and learnings to identify diversification opportunities and potential areas of innovation for Mulgowie’s future business endeavors.

Mulgowie Farming Company, known for its sustainable and innovative practices, currently grows Sweet Corn, Green Beans, Broccoli, Pumpkin and other assorted vegetables with consumer-led values in mind ensuring both quality produce and environmental stewardship.

Leveraging on their technical, on the ground expertise in horticulture and livestock production, the team were able to help with strategic planning focusing on resilience and adaptability for current and future commodities in light of changing climate conditions through My Climate View and other predictive modelling applications.

The team will continue to work with Mulgowie Farming Company on future diversification opportunities.
