In Australia, we are blessed with a great climate but often don't have that much water to use in agriculture. This can make it tricky to grow food that is suited to a tropical environment but it can be great to be able to provide consumers with a locally grown alternative for some of their favourite tropical fruits, vegetables and herbs. This blog has some tips on how to make the most of the water that you have and optimise your irrigation systems. I hope it will be useful for farmers who are just starting out or who are looking to diversift their produce.
