PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT WE ARE DEVELOPING A NEW WEBSITE ON A DIFFERENT PLATFORM. HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE UP AND RUNNING IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. That is why this platform has a banner across the top, which is another reason to change platforms!
In this workshop we will learn the benefits of buying local food....
1. The economic and nutritional benefits that are gained by supporting local growers that accrues to the whole community.
2. Develops strong relationships between people who grow and produce food, and helps to build food security for the consumer and land tenure for the farmers.

Christine has a wealth of experience working with innovative landholders to implement regenerative land management techniques that enhance biodiversity, increase biological activity, sequester carbon, activate soil nutrient cycles, restore water balance, improve productivity and create new topsoil.
In conjunction with switch your thinking we are able to hold TWO very special events with Christine.
These symposiums will explore regenerative agriculture and help landholders understand how these ideas can be implemented in a local context.
The first workshop is aimed at large scale commercial farmers and landholders on the coastal plain from Perth to Bunbury. (click here for tickets)

The second one will be more suitable for Peri-Urban farmers, (click here for tickets) large and small and is one of the 6 workshops being presented by the SJ Food and Farm Alliance on behalf of the
switch your thinking program for national science week 2018.
These workshops will be held in the heart of the Peel Region, Serpentine and Keysbrook, for information on the other 5 workshops (click here)
