Vegalogue

Vegalogue is a podcast from Australian vegetable peak industry body AUSVEG. Each month we take a look at issues affecting the Australian vegetable, potato and onion sectors, unpacking levy-funded research and meeting some of the incredible people who make up the vegetable industry.
This month, we discuss:

• How the state-by-state rollout of the new Primary Production and Processing (PPP) Standard for leafy vegetables, berries and melons is progressing.
• A major new project developing a national biosecurity strategy for vegetables, the Vegetable industry biosecurity and business continuity strategy (VG22004).
• Changes to the vegetable industry seen during 60 years as a potato grower and 20 years on the AUSVEG Board with outgoing Director Geoff Moar.

Guests:

• Zarmeen Hassan, National Manager of Biosecurity and Extension, AUSVEG
• Dr Rosalie Daniel, Program Manager - Biosecurity, AUSVEG
• Dr Lucy Tran-Nguyen, General Manager of Partnerships and Innovation, Plant Health Australia
• Geoff Moar, owner, Moar GR & L
