The 5th FAR International Conference will be held at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre, Ashburton from the 27th to 29th July 2010.
This is an excellent opportunity for companies and organisations to showcase their products and services to all stakeholders within the arable industry. Those attending will include arable growers, advisors, industry representatives, private and government researchers and overseas visitors.
The aim of the conference is to provide a forum where current national and international research can be presented. In addition, discussion on the future direction of the industry will take place. Held every three years, the FAR International Conference provides an excellent networking opportunity for the industry.
This conference will highlight the future potential of NZ arable farming. Sustainable arable production is foremost in producers’ minds, as is the incorporation of new technologies and market opportunities. This conference will cover these aspects of arable production, for both grain and seed. It is important for the arable industry as a whole to evaluate new market opportunities and maintain up-to-date knowledge on all aspects of arable production if the industry is to remain competitive and sustainable.
We look forward to your participation in this historically well supported event.
