A key component of the program sees participants complete a project focusing on a challenge that grain farmers face under GrainGrowers’ six priority themes: trade and market access; grain freight and supply chains; workforce; biosecurity; carbon and climate; and farm inputs.

A key focus of this program is each participant's ability to apply their new knowledge and skill via their individual leadership project based on real enterprise or industry issues.
