SOIL HEALTH WORKSHOPS
Climate Change Workshops:
Workshops will be hosted across Australia under the Government’s Farm-Ready program to help producers better understand how to mitigate climate change risks.
The workshops cover a background to climate change and the carbon market, farming strategies that maintain production and sequester carbon, marketing and business impacts of climate change and how to find opportunities such as a value chain approach to marketing. The workshops bring together the latest research and best practice from organic producers from all around the world.
The workshops are specifically designed for producers thinking ‘organic’ and will include information regarding farm methods that maintain production and sequester carbon, including managing vegetative cover; use of green manures; cover crops; living mulches; crop rotations; native and improved pasture; and managing water resources.
The full day workshops starting at 9:00am, will cost $40 for certified organic producers, including a hard copy of the Climate Change Manual.
