'The Cow in the Room: the role of livestock in managing climate' is the first event announced as part of the 2022 AgriTech Futures Series.
A great program of speakers will lead discussion around how livestock can be a major contributor to reducing carbon emissions, and provide nutrient dense protein alongside other plant proteins.
The New England North West has a long track record for agricultural excellence and innovation. Through these events we bring together our producer, researcher, and technology communities to grow climate adaptive agriculture.
This series, sponsored by InAg.Tech with support from the NSW and Commonwealth Government, will promote connections, share information and knowledge to keep building strong regional futures. More HERE
