Climate action is key to not only ensuring the sustainability of the agricultural industry, but also in maintaining our global market access and clean and green brand.
At Farmers for Climate Action, we believe that if we work with farmers and graziers to lead climate solutions on farm and advocate beyond the farm gate, we can influence our sector and the government to implement climate policies that benefit farmers and their communities.
Join us to hear from Charlie Prell, the Chair of the Farmers for Climate Action, who will be speaking about FCA’s vision and strategy. You will also hear from farmers who have been part of FCA since its inception and hear about how they have benefitted from being a part of FCA.
You will also meet the new Farmers for Climate Action State Co-ordinator for South Australia, Ellen Litchfield, a pastoralist and veterinarian from Wilpoorinna Station near Lake Eyre. She and other guest speakers from SA will discuss how the SA Climate Change Action Plan will affect agriculture.
At the end of the webinar there will be time for a Q&A session with the speakers, as well as a chance for you to share any insights on issues in South Australia that you think FCA can help to address.
