Enterprising women in rural industries
The Enterprising Women in Rural Industries program recognises that women are integral to Queensland's farming, fishing and food enterprises. The program's goal is to support and profile women working in rural industries to develop and share their knowledge and skills. A focus on developing women's strengths will in turn contribute to the growth of sustainable businesses, industries and rural and regional communities.
Enterprising Women in Rural Industries initiatives
Developing and sharing women's knowledge and skills:
- Women in Rural Industries e-newsletter
Keeping women informed about industry innovation, trade and business development opportunities, training and grants. - RIRDC Rural Women's Award
- Women's industry network links
Supporting enterprise and industry development:
- Enterprising Women in Rural Industries trade show
The trade show enabled women to showcase unique value-added products developed on farm. Its success led to the creation of the DEEDI Gourmet Food Project
