Up to four demonstration have been established in each participating region. All wine growers will benefit from the learnings that will flow from these participatory learning opportunities in addition to EcoVineyards events which are held in spring and autumn each year.
An open call was communicated to all growers in a participating region. Up to four EcoGrowers per region were chosen via a competitive application process and their capacity to deliver meaningful outcomes based on a range of selection criteria, which was clearly communicated as a part of the expression of interest process.
There is a Regional On-ground Coordinator (ROC) based in each participating region, who liaises with the hosting regional organisation to strengthen regional networks and bring technical expertise to support local wine growers. Visit About > ROCs to find out more.
