Cross-Pollinate Sustainable Agriculture Conference

Environment Tasmania and Sprout Tasmania are proud to announce the line up for “Cross Pollinate 2013”, Tasmania’s Sustainable Agriculture Conference. With more than 25 speakers, the conference will create a space for conversations about the future economic and environmental sustainability of Tasmanian farming.
Speakers at the event include Costa Georgiadis from Gardening Australia, Guy Robertson from Mt Gnomon Farms, Ben Copeman, CEO of NASAA Organic Certifiers and Ewan McEoin from Business for Millenium Development.
Panel speaker and large scale farmer Will Bignell will be talking about the future of Tasmanian farming at the conference.“Tasmanian agriculture has always been innovative and progressive simply due to the fact we live on an island at the bottom of world with not many people on it. Commodity based farming is still the main stay for the bulk of our agricultural landscapes however niche industries such as poppies and pyrethrum coupled with boutique industries like whiskey to tulips have played an essential role in building the positive position Tasmanian agriculture is now in. Cross Pollinate 2013 is a great chance for people across various sectors to be inspired to think out side the box, bounce ideas and network with others who are inspired to keep innovating our agricultural sector.”
Tickets are $150 per person for a jam-packed day of learning and sharing, including an amazing locavore dinner prepared by Luke Burgess from Garagiste.
