HB Regional Council’s FUTURE FARMING TRUST
Events with Siobhan Griffin
Presentations on building more productive soil and soil carbon
The Hawke’s Bay Future Farming Trust is sponsoring three presentations by Siobhan Griffin, offering an introduction to alternative pasture and grazing systems that can regenerate better soils and build soil carbon on your farm.
Siobhan has spent 25 years managing her own farm, learning that working with nature gets the best results. She coaches farmers to build topsoil working with their livestock, grazing deep-rooted and diverse pastures to build and regenerate soil carbon on New Zealand sheep/beef and dairy farms.
Originally from the USA, Siobhan now lives in New Zealand and understands New Zealand pastoral farming systems.
Siobhan gives New Zealand working examples of what outcomes look like throughout her presentation followed by Q&A with refreshments.
