Regenerative agriculture has burst onto the NZ and global agricultural scene in the last few years gaining very large amounts of visibility and engagement with government and sector organisation, but, while still being something of a mystery to many. This talk will outline the massive changes to the context of agriculture globally, why that is driving the interest in regenerative agriculture and what regenerative agriculture is, and is not, and why mindset is such an important part of what regen is about.
Presented by Charles Merfield (Merf).
The talk will be followed by Lincoln Envirotown AGM – people are welcome to remain for the AGM if they wish.
This event will only take place in level two or below:
