About this Event

WA Horticulture Science Forum

Join us for the WA Horticulture Science Forum, a collaborative event hosted by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) and WA Agricultural Research Collaboration (WAARC), focused on building a clear and shared understanding of horticulture research underway across Western Australia.

Purpose of the Forum

The primary aim of this forum is to:

By building this shared understanding, the forum will also support discussions on:

• Where gaps exist
• What opportunities are emerging
• What future research or collaboration may be needed

What to expect

• Rapid research snapshot presentations from across WA
• Insights from multiple organisations, commodities and disciplines
• Facilitated roundtable discussions to reflect on key gaps and needs
• Group discussion to identify emerging priorities

Focus areas

Research and discussions will span:

• Production, productivity and profitability
