What story are your weeds telling you?

Kim Deans from Reinventing Agriculture was the presenter for this webinar.

Each year in Australia billions of dollars is spent on herbicides to control weeds. With herbicide rates and costs of weed control continuing to increase every year, implementing a more integrated, holistic approach to weed management can bring us several benefits financially, ecologically and with regards to human health.

In this webinar Kim looked at a fresh perspective on plants we call weeds, exploring the reasons they grow, the story they tell us about soil and ecosystem health, and some consideration for alternative management strategies that can help to reduce our reliance on herbicides.

This webinar is supported by the ACT Government through funding from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund - Farm Business Resilience Program.
