Workshop: Activating your soil microbiome

Join Dr Christine Jones as she explains the impacts of inorganic NPK on the soil microbiome and discusses the actions farmers can take to reduce their reliance on expensive inputs – while still achieving the productivity and profitability outcomes they are seeking.

You’ll get to hear from local producers who are making changes to their production systems about what they’ve observed, and improvements in the profitability of their enterprises. We’re still firming up the agenda, but it will look something like this:

8:15 Registration

9:00 – 10:30 Activating the soil sociobiome

10:30 – 11:00 Morning Tea

11:00 – 12:00 Local farmers present

12:00 – 1pm Q&A with farmer presenters and Christine, open discussion about “how to”

1:00 – 1:35 Lunch provided
