Modern agriculture faces a major challenge: enhancing resource efficiency amid climate change. In dry regions like Australia and the US, optimizing water usage from deeper soil layers is crucial for crop productivity, while in wetter places like Denmark, minimizing leaching and run-off is vital for both production and environmental preservation. This workshop brings together Farming Frontiers comprising APSIM modelers, and farming system researchers to explore sustainable, resilient, and profitable farming systems tailored to these diverse environments.

Get ready for two days of cutting-edge agricultural research insights as we host the AGROverse workshop seminar on June 13-14. This two-day event promises a dive into the latest research and advancements in farming systems.

Mark your calendars, registration is neccessary and stay tuned for further details on this exciting opportunity to engage with experts and industriy, and explore innovative approaches to agricultural practices.
