Case study: Agriculture crop development and water usage

Training for the clean economy – the Victorian TAFE Network prospectus 2024

SuniTAFE has collaborated with Agromillora, providing land to facilitate planting, research and harvesting activities, aiding in the effective shift from grape cultivation to other appropriate crops.

About the initiative

In response to a decline in grape demand, dwarf plantings of almonds and olives were considered to enable vines to be removed and replaced by dwarf plantings in the same lines.

SuniTAFE is working in collaboration with Agromillora to facilitate an efficient changeover of plantings from grape to alternative harvests.

Land supplied by SuniTAFE is being used for purposes of planting, research and harvesting.

This project demonstrates innovative re-use of existing land and resources to enhance sustainability.

Outcomes

This project is supporting the establishment of pilot crop production and development of dwarf olive and almond varieties.

SuniTAFE aims to continue to provide its support and expertise for this project.
