Share your melon photos with us!
It's National Agriculture Day! 🍉🍌🥦 To celebrate, Melons Australia have put the call out for favourite photos of melons - and we're thrilled to spotlight one of the fresh produce commodities leading real change. Melons were one of the two commodities that paved the way in developing the horticulture sector action plans alongside bananas, helping drive industry-wide action to reduce food waste and increase grower profitability. This shot is a favourite for us - captured while filming at a watermelon farm in Chinchilla for the Horticulture Sector Action Plan video. A big shout-out to all the growers who feed the nation and keep pushing the industry forward. #AgDayAU #LoveAussieMelons #EndFoodWaste #Sustainability #Horticulture @Johnathon Davey @Courtney Archer
