Growcom’s Hort360 is an online, risk assessment tool, which is designed to give growers a 360 degree view of their farm business operations.
"Hort360 allows industry to be guided by best practice, sound science and legislation to make decisions that work for farms and businesses. It allows the horticulture industry to demonstrate environmental stewardship, sound workplace health and safety practices and good business management.", the team with the company explains.
"Over the coming months we will be highlighting the various aspects of Hort360, the benefits of being involved and how it can assist you to identify potential risks, capitalise on business opportunities and highlight unnecessary farm expenses."
The company continues, "Hort360 contains a series of modules – irrigation, energy, waste, biodiversity, biosecurity, air, pesticide, better business, soil, climate, nutrient, run-off, workplace safety – which are designed to meet specific business needs. On completion of each module growers are provided with a risk action report and a brief overview of their performance amongst the peers."
The company concludes, "By participating in Hort360, growers will have the opportunity to access on-farm technical support, on-farm training, professional networks and certification against Freshcare Environmental. All this will enable them to increase efficiencies, reduce costs, improve productivity and product quality, and build wealth."
