SUMMARY:Bee Friendly Farming: The role of bees in Australian food production systems
DESCRIPTION:Home / WebinarJoin Lea Hannah\, Bee Friendly Farming Farm Technical Liaison Officer\, Dr Romina Rader\, Professor (Research) in Community Ecology \, University of New England\, Dr Cameron Spurr\, Managing Director of seedPurity and Dr Julian Brown\, University of Melbourne\, Research Fellow in Urban Ecology School of Agriculture\, Food and Ecosystem Sciences.  Bees play an important role in food production. Most of the crops we eat are pollinated by bees\, with nearly two-thirds of Australia’s agricultural production benefiting from bee pollination. Bees also play important roles in seed production as well as the quality of fruit and vegetables. \nTo register click here \nSpeaker #1 – Dr. Romina Rader – Importance of bees in Australian food productions systems. \nDr Romina Rader is a community ecologist and her research focuses on plant–animal interactions in\nnatural and human-modified landscapes. She is interested generally in the ecology of plants and animals\nin different types of habitats and landscapes and how they respond to differing management practices\nand global change. Her current projects relate to wild and managed insect pollinators\, their efficiency at\npollinating horticultural crops and the ecology and conservation of remnant vegetation. For more information about Romina click here. \nSpeaker #2 – Dr. Cameron Spurr – Importance of bees in carrot seed production in Tasmania \nDr. Cameron Spurr is the Managing Director of seedPurity.  seedPurity is a leading provider of applied seed technology to the forestry and vegetable seed industries in Australia and New Zealand.
