The Mulloon Institute actively regenerates landscapes and waterways in rural communities across Australia for farming, environment, and society. Presented by the new generation of specialist landscape planners, hear about how the latest research and engineering designs are aiding in the restoration of landscapes using a range of tactics that boost resilience to climatic extremes, improve biodiversity outcomes and water quality on farms for sustainable land management practices. 

In this session, you’ll hear from scientists working in plant biosecurity with the Australian government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF). These scientists apply their knowledge and experience in entomology, plant pathology and botany to protect Australia’s unique agricultural and environmental status, free from many high risk pests and diseases present in other parts of the world. Plants and plant products are imported into Australia everyday, including fruit and vegetables, grains and seeds, cut flowers and timber.

Dr Richard Thomas will explore with students  principles of experimental design linked to Agriculture and the sciences, with a focus on a simple, yet effective experiment that links to food nutrition and food security in peri-urban settings. Students will also develop an understanding of how experimental design is applied to learning in a tertiary setting.  

Explore the role pollinators play in our everyday lives. Students will take a deeper dive into the importance of pollinators and their role in agriculture and food production. 

This workshop is a 50 minute introduction to Pollinator's and the Centre's No Bees No Future Program. This program is available as a  full day incursion or semester based transdisciplinary program
