Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture

The Australian Institute of Agricultural Science & Technology (AIAST), Tasmanian Division, invites you to attend our forum: Getting To Market, at the Tailrace Centre, Launceston.

Agriculture is particularly important to the Tasmanian economy. Recent research shows potential to significantly increase the contribution that agriculture can make.

The theme for the afternoon is innovation in the production and marketing of Tasmanian agricultural products (particularly food) for state, interstate and overseas markets, and what that means for research, development and extension providers.

The audience will be challenged by the speakers, leading to discussion about what can be done to facilitate growth in Tasmanian agriculture.
