Developed by Hort Innovation with University of Tasmania, Lincoln University (NZ), and world-leader Wageningen (Netherlands), this eight-month course aims to address the industry’s need to foster young talent and cultivate entrepreneurial thinking in Australian horticulture.

It has been created with the Leadership Fund, part of Horticulture Innovation Australia's new Strategic Co-Investment initiative, with a number of scholarships also being supported by Nursery and Vegetable levies.

The journey began last weekend in beautiful Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, and Hort Innovation was there to talk to the students, teachers and special industry guests.
