Testimonials

Read feedback from GROW participants

  • What happens when you bring together farmers, academia, business, and industry? You get GROW - a unique learning programme by farmers, for farmers - designed to spark real-world solutions that create lasting impact.

    Meet Ian Marshall: a dairy farmer, politician, former senator and union leader, whose journey is anything but ordinary. Through GROW, Ian shared a simple yet powerful innovation - a low-cost water management system implemented on his farm. The result? A practical, scalable solution that's already inspiring fellow farmers and government officials to rethink sustainability on the ground.
