The team from Our Land and Water National Science Challenge, partnered with us, ACE (Aparima Community Environment) and Thriving Southland to bring a range of speakers to present practical science research for farmers.
This informative day looked at the role of rural communities in the sustainable future of our primary sector and explored local scenarios with practical applications you can use in your everyday work. This event offered an opportunity to delve into independent research discoveries and engage in thought-provoking discussions. Leading independent researchers each gave a brief outlook of opportunities, some threats, and current (and future) signals in our markets.
Please see the presentations from the speakers below.
