A whole-of-farm approach to improving horticulture businesses

Hort360 is the best management practice (BMP) platform for Australian horticultural growers.

It is a benchmarking and risk assessment platform designed to give growers a 360-degree view of their farm business operations.

The platform assists growers to identify potential risks, capitalise on business opportunities and highlight unnecessary farm expenses. It takes a whole-of-farm business approach, helping growers better understand their current practices and identify opportunities for improvement.

Through either one-on-one facilitation or self-assessment, growers complete a series of questions relevant to their business. The process provides an opportunity to review key areas of farm management, benchmark current practices and develop a clearer understanding of business performance.

There is no pass or fail — Hort360 is designed to support continuous improvement and help growers make informed decisions that strengthen their businesses.

Hort360 supports growers to improve efficiency, reduce costs, increase productivity and build more sustainable and resilient farm businesses.

The platform also supports the horticulture industry to demonstrate stewardship of the environment and a commitment to responsible farming practices. By using science, benchmarking and good business governance, Hort360 helps guide decisions that work for growers and the broader industry.
