TERRAIN NRM IS THE PROUD HOST OF THE PROJECT CATALYST GROWERS FORUM IN CAIRNS, 2016.

SPONSOR AND NETWORK AT ONE OF AUSTRALIA’S LEADING SUGAR INDUSTRY EVENTS

We are pleased to offer you the opportunity to sponsor the Project Catalyst Grower Forum 2016!

The Project Catalyst Growers Forum is an annual event that brings together growers involved in on-ground trials to network and collaborate. Picture a room full of Australia’s most innovative cane growers and you won’t be far off. In 2015, the forum attracted 170+ growers and industry representatives as attendees and delegates. The event is invitation-only, creating an ideal environment for sugarcane industry grower-leaders to learn and share together.

Project Catalyst supports a network of innovative farmers to fast-track the adoption of cutting edge management practices. Trials are conducted to find methods for on-farm improvements that benefit growers and also reduce the environmental footprint that sugarcane has on water quality and the Great Barrier Reef. Project Catalyst is a unique partnership that brings together sugarcane growers, The Coca-Cola Foundation, WWF and regional NRM groups, with support from the Australian Government. It started with 19 sugarcane growers within the Mackay Whitsunday region trialling innovative sugar cane farming practices and has expanded to include more than 75 growers covering the surrounding sugar cane growing areas of Queensland’s Wet and Dry Tropics.

Project Catalyst and its partners attract significant media attention in support of the good work being done breaking new ground in sustainable agriculture. To date, farmers involved in Project Catalyst farm trials have helped improve runoff and drainage water quality of an estimated 100 billion litres across 20,345 ha of land. That’s no small feat and we are improving every year.

The Project Catalyst Growers Forum is the peak event for Project Catalyst growers, bringing together all involved to network and learn more about market transformations, international trends and innovation in agriculture in Australia and globally. The forum is also a chance for growers to present an update of current Project Catalyst trials being conducted throughout the year, and offer new ideas for projects moving forward. The forum is a three-day event looked forward to by growers and industry alike. It is an opportunity to share learnings from other work in the cane, agriculture and water quality space, with the focus always on innovation.

Sponsors have the opportunity to support a unique event within the three days of the forum and access a network of some of Australia’s most forward-thinking growers. Sponsorship options are provided on the following page. You can use this form to indicate your level of sponsorship, or contact us direct for more information. We look forward to hearing from you.
