Why did Hort Innovation partner with My Market Kitchen?
The purpose of the partnership is to create and broadcast engaging content to tell the stories of Aussie growers, the food they produce and how this drives a healthy Australia. Through this partnership, we will bring Aussie growers and their produce to life. The show will visit the growers on farm, allow them to tell their stories, talk about their passion for growing the food Australians love to eat, and discuss current Hort Innovation levy funded research and development investments and how they bring value to them.
Each episode will focus on transforming fruit, vegetables and nuts into easy and delicious meals, with horticulture products featuring as the hero of each of the recipes. Our Research and Development Manager and Accredited Dietitian Jemma O’Hanlon will inspire viewers to cook with and enjoy a range of Australian grown produce, highlighting researched based nutritional facts.
It is also a way for Australian viewers to connect with our growers, to see the real faces and families behind the horticulture industry, and understand the passion they have for filling our plates with fresh and nutritious produce.
As part of the partnership, Hort Innovation has secured 12 segments on the show. The first segment aired on 26 June.
If you miss a segment don’t worry – once aired they will be published on our website and shared on social media or can be found on Youtube.
