SUMMARY:Webinar: Competition Law 101 with NextGen
DESCRIPTION:AUSVEG has invited Neil Rechlin from NextGen to deliver a practical webinar on the fundamentals of Australian competition law and how it applies to horticultural businesses. \nNextGen Group is Australia’s leading provider of Code training\, working closely with industry peak bodies and regulators. Since 2022\, NextGen has delivered negotiation training programs for horticulture growers across Australia\, training more than 230 growers in 2024/25 alone. \nWhat Will Be Covered?\nThe webinar will explore: \n\nThe fundamentals of competition law\nAnti-competitive behaviour and prohibited conduct\nMisuse of market power\n\nWhy Is This Important?\nThe regulatory environment facing growers continues to become more complex. For many businesses\, particularly SMEs\, it can be difficult to keep up with the rules that apply to everyday commercial decisions. \nThe Competition and Consumer Act 2010 sets the ground rules for how businesses engage in the marketplace. Understanding these obligations can help growers reduce risk and make informed business decisions.

SUMMARY:Soil Wealth Masterclass 2026
DESCRIPTION:The SWICP Regen Ag Masterclass is designed for growers and advisers already exploring or implementing practice change within vegetable production systems. \nThe Masterclass is not designed as an introductory regenerative agriculture workshop. Rather\, the focus will be on practical implementation\, challenges\, lessons learnt and identifying realistic next steps within commercial production systems. \nThe Masterclass will be discussion-based and focused on peer learning and practical application. We encourage sharing experiences from within participants’ own farming operations and advisory contexts. Presenters will cover important aspects of regen ag in vegetable production. There will be an afternoon of farm visits to nearby Cranbourne operations to showcase practices in real life. \nParticipants should be comfortable contributing to facilitated group discussions and peer learning activities across the two-day program. \nPrevious SWICP masterclass participants have found these sessions practical and useful\, particularly the opportunity to chat to experts. \nThe masterclass is free (courtesy of your levies) and includes field visits\, catering during the masterclass and an evening meal on day 1 (Tuesday). You will need to arrange your own travel and accommodation.
