Mosaic of matters resolving climate change lead to Euroa

A mosaic of seemingly unrelated matters will enable us to mitigate and adapt to climate change.

One of those “seemingly unrelated matters” comes up early next month in Euroa, Victoria.

The Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority is staging a “Women in Agriculture Forum” on Thursday, March 10, at the Euroa Butter Factory from 9:30am through to three o’clock that afternoon.

And what’s it got to do with climate change?

Unattended to, a disrupted climate system makes most everything else redundant and so on that basis, everything is about climate change.

Considering that, the March 10 forum will see three women, intimately related to the land, will talk about community resilience, sustainability in agriculture and how it all works “on the ground”.

Speaking and the free forum will be Sarah Parker, who will outline personal challenges on her and husband Raymond Goulburn Valley dairy farm as the worked to make it more flexible and sustainable; Julie Telford will talk natural resource management as a tool to ensure sustainable agriculture; and Jeanette Long will share tips on building personal and community resilience to help people cope with droughts, fire, flood, business and personal difficulties.

Those eager to know more about the forum, or register, should contact Ashley Rogers at the Goulburn Broken CMA, or phone on (03) 5764 7507 – registration is required by Tuesday, March 8.
