A webinar with Annemaree Docking from Plan it Rural – Saturday 2 July at 10am

This webinar will look at the power of bio-linked biodiversity on the farm. It will introduce concepts that allow landscape assessment and land classing to facilitate integrating biodiversity into farm operations for greatest benefit to both farm productivity, water quality and soil conservation. It will highlight the importance of pollinators for landscape health, farm productivity and food security.
