GIPPSLAND ARGICULTURAL
GROUP INC.
The Gippsland Agricultural Group Inc. is an incorporated, not for profit, volunteer run organisation based across Central and East Gippsland. The group is driven and managed by local farmers who are seeking local solutions to local issues. The group’s focus is to conduct relevant research trials and demonstrations, to investigate innovation in agriculture and the feasibility of implementation in local environments. The knowledge will be gained by conducting small scale research at the Gippsland Research Farm and if proven viable, moved to satellite farms for large paddock scale research. The information gained will be shared through the farming community as well as partner organisations.
