Food and Fibre Gippsland (FFG) was successful in obtaining a grant from the State Government to implement a support program for seasonal workers throughout the Gippsland horticulture industry. The program is titled ‘Informed and Supported Workers – Gippsland’ (ISW-G).

Food & Fibre Gippsland is the node provider for the Victorian Drought Hub program.

The Victorian Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub is one of eight national hubs funded by the Australian Government to enhance drought preparedness and resilience through economic, environmental, and community initiatives. The Hub's focus was expanded beyond drought resilience to include broader agricultural innovation. We, in Gippsland, develop a range of projects which focus on demonstrating existing and new approaches to building drought resilience across the agricultural and horticultural supply chains.

This update provides details of one such project.
