Project Catalyst

Project Catalyst supports a network of Mackay, Whitsunday, Burdekin and Wet Tropics farmers who are leading the way in the use of cutting-edge management practices for a more sustainable and productive farming future.

Connecting with growers is the key to sharing the benefits of innovation in farm management practices. Project Catalyst strives to provide a range of opportunities from shed talks to the annual Growers Forum to learn, share and engage with like minds.
