Organic Week

Saturday, October 11 to October 19
Australia celebrates the growing significance of all things organic with its first official Organic Week with a host of events across the nation. To be launched by agricultural ministers in the five states, it will feature everything from organic wine tasting to farm tours and government conferences. Danielle Farrow, event organiser with the Centre for Organic Research and Enterprise (CORE), says producer involvement will be a main feature of the week, with consumers encouraged to learn more about organic growers and methods in their region. Eric Love, chair of CORE and deputy chair of the Organic Federation of Australia, says one of the major objectives of the week will be to show people the role organic systems have to play in farm management and the environment.  For more information click here.
