Funding boost for pilot program

Shepparton’s Rumbalara Aboriginal Cooperative is one farm involved in the program, where trainees receive hands-on learning.

Victorian Agriculture Minister Mary-Anne Thomas said the government was working alongside Traditional Owners to help them engage with Victoria’s “nation-leading agricultural industry”.

Th pilot program — called ‘Follow the Flowers’ — is mainly focused on the production of honey, botanicals and Australian native wildflowers alongside farm-based tourism.
