Come along to this interactive workshop out in the paddock and hear from Joel Williams…
…an independent plant and soil health educator and consultant who has worked extensively in Australia, Europe and North America where he is currently based. He has a keen interest in soil health, plant nutrition and plant and soil microbiomes and how these may support the development of sustainable production systems.
Joel has a Bachelor of Agricultural Science specialising in plant and soil dynamics and a passion for teaching and sharing a combination of scientific and practical information, and lecturing to farming audiences internationally.
This workshop will be a blend of technical and practical insights into various aspects of soil and plant health, including the prevention of soilborne diseases, soil salinity and low soil organic matter, as well as an interactive walk into the field where Joel will lead lively discussions and demonstrations out in the paddock.
Topics covered:
