2022 Virtual Ag Week Conference

The Mulloon Institute’s Erin Healy has recently presented to over 100 secondary school students as part of the 2022 Centre of Excellence Virtual Ag Week Conference. 

Students studying agriculture, environmental science, geography, careers and TAS joined the ‘Managing Water Using Regenerative Practices’ masterclass. 

Erin spoke with the high school students about the role of the water cycle, the significant change in land-use across Australia and the consequences of un-sustainable land management practices. Erin also shared her experiences as a Landscape Planner across Australia to help show the importance of restoring the water cycle in degraded landscapes.

The masterclass was followed by fantastic questions from students and teachers across NSW, tuning into the virtual conference. Questions ranged from, “What’s your favourite part of your job?” to, “What can students study to join the regenerative agriculture field” and, “What can teenagers do to help now?”.
