Search Producer Demonstration Sites
The PDS search tool gives users the ability to search for active and completed Producer Demonstrations by topic and/or state/region of relevance, making the findings of each PDS more accessible, allowing producers to incorporate the outcomes into their own production systems.
Users can access a summary of the project alongside progress updates and findings. Extension materials and resources can also be accessed as well as the contact details of the PDS facilitator as a way of encouraging producers nationwide to engage with Producer Demonstrations that can benefit their operations.
