‘COBWA is pleased to announce that two emanate scholars of soil science and plant nutrition will be joining us at our post AGM FORUM event to share insights on their study careers and passion for nature based system approaches.

Emerita Professor Lyn Abbott [UWA] and international visiting fellow Professor Florian Wichen [Faculty of Life Sciences Rhine Waal University, Germany] will be joining with our organic biodynamic practitioners in an interactive exchange of practical knowledge, insights and experiences in the field.

Organics and Biodynamics has many unique science and technological aspects that underpin its practice and principles.  The FORUM will share knowledge of how those understandings are applied and how ‘old’ knowledge is being blended with ‘new thinking’ to further advance health and production in balance with ecological enhancement.

This Forum is for advocates of organic/ biodynamics and those keen to learn about its unique approaches and time honored service to public and ecological health.’
