Environment Matters – Food and farming
May 18, 2022 –
Did you know that the current food system accounts for 34% of carbon emissions worldwide and, in turn, is one of the leading causes of climate change?
Join the Conservation Council of WA and Wide Open Agriculture for our first Environment Matters of 2022 – where we’ll be digging deeper into the important role food production can play in tackling climate change.
Ever wanted to learn more about regenerative agriculture in Australia? Interested in the topics of carbon sequestration, soil health and biodiversity, and restoring local ecosystems? Keen to build your understanding of the interconnection between farming and First Nations land management and cultural practices? Then this event is for you!
We’ll be hearing direct from our partner organisation, ASX listed Wide Open Agriculture (WOA), who are Australia’s leading regenerative food and agriculture company and owner of consumer brand Dirty Clean Food, along with a panel of leading industry experts and local farmers – this is a conversation not to be missed.
Our guest speakers will include:
Ben Cole – Wide Open Agriculture
Shay Crouch – Perth NRM
Simon Wallwork – Corrigin Farmer and AgZero2030 Chair and Cofounder
Heidi Mippy - Noongar Land Enterprise Group
This is a free event and we’d love you to break bread with us after the presentations – literally! Light refreshments will be provided with catering by the one and only North Street Store.
