Soil is the lifeblood of agriculture and is fundamental to our survival. Healthy soils are essential for healthy plant growth, food production for human nutrition and ecosystem services such as clean water and air. Healthy soil biology is essential for healthy soil, and this 1 day workshop and field walk will give farmers a deeper understanding of how soils function, what factors may be the limiting their soils productivity, & what steps they can take to ‘breathe life’ into their soils for year round soil health.

Presented by Graeme Sait (CEO, Nutri-Tech Solutions), an internationally respected author, educator, and farmer, and author of the “Nutrition Farming” podcast series, the workshop and field walk will explore the theme “Mastering Microbes – building the biological pathway”.

The day will include:

- Understanding the microbial world

- Tools to quantify soil and plant health

- Systems integration and landscape regeneration tips

- A field tour

- A demonstration of soil mapping and sensing technology by Carbon Ag Solutions.

*Morning and afternoon tea and a light lunch provided.
