Professor Graeme Hammer will present a seminar (in-person and online) for Food Agility titled 'Crop design for adaptation to variable production environments – the role of crop modelling and simulation'.

The University of Queensland (UQ) in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IITD) and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) will jointly host a workshop on Agricultural Technology, bringing together researchers to share knowledge and expertise in the areas of “Agricultural Produce Processing”, “Sensors and Automation”, “Agriculture Informatics”, and “Climate and weather forecasting and effects on crops”.

Improving cow fertility and reducing cow and calf losses in the North. Join Dr Geoffry Fordyce, as he discusses common breeding herd problems and effective solutions.

The Sustainability Research & Innovation Congress 2021 (SRI2021) is the world’s first transdisciplinary gathering in sustainability – it will be a space of fierce advocacy for sustainability scholarship, innovation, collaboration and action.

This interactive session will bring together various project participants (including growers), researchers and CRCNA project managers in an exchange of information, knowledge and key lessons learned.

In 2021, to better manage risks associated with COVID-19, the 2-day GRDC Grains Research Update at Goondiwindi has been split into two one-day events at Dalby (2 March) and Narrabri (4 March). If you are involved in the production side of the grains industry, these are events that you cannot afford to miss. Come along and hear the latest grains research information, share ideas and update your knowledge. Numbers could be quite constrained as a result of COVID-19, so book early to avoid disappointment. For those who can’t attend, we will be livestreaming both the Narrabri and Dalby Updates free of charge.
