Arden Andersen, one of the world’s leading proponents of biological agriculture practices will be conducting two-day courses in Ashburton and Taupo in February 2013.
The emphasis of the courses for farmers, horticulturists and supporting advisors, is to clearly demonstrate how to grow nutrient-dense crops in larger quantities with fewer petrochemical inputs and a healthy bottom line.
Andersen, in his course ‘Grow your profits with food the world wants’, will provide attendees with the latest updates and practical applications of the natural sciences that underpin biological growing practices.
“Biological farming is no longer a cottage industry mocked by chemical sales representatives and those agronomists locked into traditional thinking. It is the standard of farming sustainably, both ecologically and profitably, and in the manner necessary to feed the expanding world population,” says Andersen.
