SUMMARY:Lindenow: Manage pest and disease risk on farm using technology
DESCRIPTION:Drop in when it suits\, or lock in your spot – register here. \nVisitors can unknowingly bring pests\, diseases and weeds onto a farm. Dirty boots\, vehicles\, or farm supplies could carry unwelcome hitchhikers – which can have potentially devastating impacts. \nAUSVEG and Onside are evaluating how digitised farm visitor management can support decision making and return to trade when a new pest arrives. Vegetable growers\, field staff and agronomists can sign up and access Onside for free. \nDrop in to learn how you can use Onside to: \nDigitally map your farm\nCreate and share a live map of your property – an Onside product specialist will be onsite to help get you set up. \nAutomate visitor notifications\nGrowers receive live visitor notifications\, no matter where they are\, or how many entrances. Field staff can automatically let growers know that they’ve arrived. \nCapture high risk biosecurity movements\nVisitors can record plant material\, machinery and equipment movements on and off your property. \nContribute to real-time tracing\nShare an anonymised view of check-in movement data on and off farm with AUSVEG. \nAccess pest and disease updates\nPick up resources and free sticky traps to learn about emerging pests such as Fall armyworm and Tomato potato psyllid \nSee Onside in action\nLearn first hand how Redbank Farm is using Onside to manage their visitors and biosecurity. \n  \nThank you to Lindenow for hosting the event. \nFor more info contact:\nRosalie Daniel\n0432 842 794\nrosalie.daniel@ausveg.com.au \nwww.getonside.com/ausveg \n  \nAgricultural Victoria’s Food Safety team will be onsite to answer any questions growers may have on the new Food Safety Standards. Information on that session can be found here. \n  \nThis project been funded by Hort Innovation using the vegetable research and development levy and funds from Australian Government.
