22.01.2022 The Department of Primary Industries and Regions (PIRSA) is undertaking a strategic review of the Women Influencing Agribusiness and Regions Program (WIAR), as ...part of the development of a broader Diversity in Agribusiness strategy. An independent panel has been established to oversee this review and is seeking your valuable feedback to help identify program strengths and areas for improvement. The WIAR Program has supported WoTL through the Thriving Women Conference in 2018 and 2020 and the Stepping Into Leadership Program. PIRSA has engaged independent Adelaide research agency, Square Holes to conduct a survey to collate this feedback. The survey is composed of up to 30 questions and is estimated to take approximately 10-15 minutes. The survey closes on Monday 28th September at 9.00 am. The survey link is: https://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/5837414/3c8160c9c0b1 Participating in the survey will be a great way to have input into the review.

01.01.2022 OPEN DAY TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE See sustainable living in practice at The Food Forest Open Day on 4 Oct to get tips on HOW YOUR HOME CAN BECOME A POWERHOUSE OF ... PRODUCTIVITY, capturing solar energy as electricity and hot water. Even a small garden can grow all your vegies and chickens help with both gardening and fruit growing. Understand how the ethics and principles of PERMACULTURE DESIGN enable the design of homes, towns and societies for a sustainable and fulfilling future. The Food Forest is a home and small farm at Gawler SA, which demonstrates the cultivation of organic foods, integrates animals into its land-care system and essentially runs on composted green-waste, rainwater and sunshine. The public is welcome to the Open Day on Sunday 4 Oct. It has two identical sessions so we can observe COVID distancing provisions; the first from 10am - 1pm and the second from 2-5pm. We have had to introduce BOOKINGS so we comply with COVID restrictions and expect to have the booking system operating through our website in a week or so. Tours will give an introduction to sustainable home design and building (even with straw bales), and to Permaculture design. You'll see our gardens, buildings, orchards, irrigation systems and revegetation and hear about strategies for capturing water, coping with climate change and rebuilding the ecology of our locality. You'll meet the chooks and mini sheep, see the compost making area, vineyards, a tiny strawbale cottage, use of greywater for irrigation and recharging of aquifers. There is no charge for children under 14, adults $15. Fresh produce, wine and educational DVDs (including a professionally made hour-long movie about permaculture and the creation of the Food Forest) will be for sale as well as fruit trees and grapevines including the best adapted fig trees from the CSIRO's international collection, pomegranates and native fruit trees. The Food Forest also offers weekend workshops on Organic vegetable growing and Free Range Poultry (31 Oct) , an Introduction to Permaculture Design (1 Nov) and a full Permaculture Design Certificate course next Autumn. Put the date in your diary and remember to book-in (No tickets available at the gate) The address: 80 Clifford Rd, Hillier. Phone 85 226450
