The Hydroponic Farmers Federation 2012 Conference is now open for registration.
The theme “The Future – Filling in the gaps” addresses many of the issue facing all farmers as they approach challenging times.
Farming is always challenging, but the immediate future offers a new
mix of challenges - Buying conglomerates driving down prices, the rising
dollar, rising energy costs and competition from imports are some of
the challenges that face Victorian farmers.
Facing these challenges by yourself is daunting. Coming together
with others to learn new techniques and approaches and learning from
others’ experience is a positive way to assist your business.
Commercial greenhouse & hydroponic production systems are rapidly
becoming one of the important solutions to resource pressures (land,
water, fertiliser, environment, etc), however growers constantly need to
update their growing techniques and technology. This event brings
together the knowledge developers (speakers) with the knowledge users
(growers) and is a wonderful opportunity to keep abreast of current
skills.
And finally, Chisholm Institute will be having a stand at this year's event, so come along and say hello to the teaching staff, and find out more about what we do.
