About Us
The
Horticulture Industry Network (HIN) is an initiative aimed at strengthening working partnerships between DPI and the horticulture industry to deliver better services to farmers;
- DPI and industry co-funding allows Industry Development Officers (IDOs) to deliver projects which address the specific needs identified by each industry and increase their ability to respond to issues such as low water availability, climate variability and biosecurity.
- IDOs work within their industries and associations but have direct access to DPI research and support services;
- DPI supports the Horticulture Industry Network by providing secretariat, communications and practice change support and ensuring the horticultural community stays informed of the latest R&D.
