What was it all about?

This project was designed to assist the Australian Chestnut industry by providing a formal mechanism to transfer technology to all stakeholders, including growers, other industry partners and consumers, and to provide support to the activities of the Chestnut IAC, Chestnuts Australia Inc. (CAI) and the CAI R&D Committee. An officer was employed on a part-time basis to disseminate information to the industry, using primarily print and electronic means, and to organise and participate in industry activities designed to improve grower knowledge.
