This course provides key knowledge and skills required
for successful organic growing. The overall aim is to
build ecosystems, promote biodiversity and increase soil
and plant health, instead of relying on artificial
fertilisers and poisonous sprays.
We explore the latest trends in sustainable farming,
both internationally and in New Zealand. A practical,
science based approach is used to separate myth from
fact, while exploring a wide range of organic techniques
and methods.
You will be introduced to a range of design and
management systems that provide useful guidelines and
tools for ongoing management, planning and diagnosis –
whether applied to your property layout or a new
production venture.
