Cross Pollinate Tasmania

Cross Pollinate Tasmania is our annual conference, focusing on the exchange of ideas and knowledge.

what is CROSS POLLINATE?

Cross Pollinate is Sprout’s annual conference, which gathers together small-scale farmers and supporters of a resilient and local food system to share ideas, feel connected and learn.

IDEAS FOR HOPE

Ideas For Hope is the theme for 2024. The event will showcase a diverse range of speakers, short theatre-style presentations, videos and panel discussions on a variety of topics that that aims to:

illustrate opportunities for farming businesses to succeed
inspire improved landscape management
enable positive personal outcomes
help communities to thrive
galvanise farmers to collaborate and support each other, which will in turn bolster capacity in the small-scale producer sector.

What do we mean by ideas for hope?

We are conscious of how easy it is to sit behind a desk and pose ideas. However we truly believe we have curated two events with the right speakers and topics to demonstrate real ideas for hope to farmers.

Farming is tough. There is no shying away from that. Amidst a year marked by unprecedented challenges for farmers of every scale, Cross Pollinate 2024 will redefine perspectives, encourage bold thinking beyond conventional boundaries, and, above all, instil a renewed sense of hope.

Ideas For Hope will be taking place on Sunday June 23 from 9am-5pm at Moonah Arts Centre in Hobart.

Ticket prices are $80 for members or $110 for non-members.

Please note that we have sadly cancelled the Launceston event. Hobart is still running, and we are including some of the Launceston presentations, to make it an even bigger and better event!
