Join our BrisScience panel as they celebrate the International Year of Soils with a nitty gritty discussion on: ‘Digging deeper…can Australian soils really feed the world?’
Our four panellists are:
Rob Pekin: founder of Food Connect and a former dairy farmer who has a strong belief in the practice of community-supported agriculture.
Dr Peter Stone: Research Program Director leading CSIRO’s work on the development of northern Australia, whose history includes farm management, food industry consulting and grain marketing.
Dr Christine Williams: Assistant Director-General, Science Division of DSITI who is a trained economist and now leads the Science Division which provides scientific and technical advice and services to government agencies.
Philip Mulvey: CEO of Environmental Earth Sciences who has 30 years of experience in soil sciences, hydrogeology, water resource assessment and contamination studies.
Our facilitator is Professor Neal Menzies, Head of the School of Agriculture and Food Sciences at The University of Queensland.
This webinar brings together scientists, innovators, and farmers to explore how multispecies pasture cropping and the SOILKEE System can build soil health, improve pasture performance, reduce seasonal feed gaps, and support resilient dryland grazing systems, particularly in cold-season conditions.
