The current phase focuses on capacity building, offering technical training to farmers. Macadamia Farm Management, a beneficiary, highlights various projects funded by Reef Rescue, such as machinery to minimize runoff, including a sweeper broom that has significantly improved soil health by redistributing organic matter and promoting earthworm activity. Additionally, the Weed Seeker technology has reduced herbicide usage by about one-third, resulting in both environmental and financial benefits for the orchard management.
