The TNQ Drought Hub recently attended Hort Connections 2025, Australia and New Zealand’s premier horticulture conference and trade show, held from June 4-6 at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre. The event which drew over 3,900 delegates and nearly 1,000 growers, explored innovation, collaboration and the future of fresh produce.

Program Lead Kara-Glenn Worth said, “I really enjoyed wandering through the expansive Trade Show, so much innovation and passion on display across the industry. The Plenary sessions were equally insightful, with great discussions around the future of horticulture.

“It was also great to hear a strong emphasis on understanding innovation readiness, something that the hubs AgValuate tool is designed to support.”

The TNQ Drought Hub’s presence at Hort Connections 2025 reinforced its commitment to supporting producers in Tropical North Queensland by connecting them with cutting-edge technologies and strategies for building drought resilience in a rapidly evolving agricultural landscape.
