Summary

The Producer Demonstration Site (PDS) program operated in southern Australia with the objectives of:
Delivering a program to industry that functions as the primary participatory learning program to underpin and link MLA's extension activities and tools
Initiating a program that validates and monitors the commercial application and adaptation of tools and technology
Replaces the existing PIRD program and provides a framework that will direct the transition of the PDS program to a Producer Research Support Network. The purpose of this project was to coordinate and assist with the efficient development and delivery of the southern beef and sheepmeat producer demonstration site (PDS) program.
