Climate Change and Organic Cropping

The cropping industry, through the leadership of the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) have invested in CSIRO research towards climate resilience for grains. Join AOL Technical Officer Josefine Pettersson as she talks to Professor Terry Rose, who brings a wealth of knowledge behind intercropping and other plant based solutions for potential sequestration. Professor Rose will discuss his research under the Soil CRC. Josefine will also speak with Dr Maartje Sevenster, lead researcher behind the Australian Grains Baseline and Mitigation Assessment report from the CSIRO. This is to be followed by a discussion with Fiona McCredie, Policy and Sustainability Manager for peak industry body GrainGrowers, about the Grains Sustainability Framework that has been devised to strengthen sustainability in the grain industry across the decade until 2030.
