I would like to warmly invite you to join us for Agmentation 2022 on Thursday 28th July at 5.30pm at NOVA (122 Faulkner Street) and then on Friday 29th July at the UNE SMART Farm Innovation Centre from 7am! If you have not joined us for an Agmentation before, I can promise you it is an energising and uplifting event where you work in teams to solve real problems faced by our communities in a fast paced day at the UNE SMART Farm.
This year the overarching theme of Climate Adaptive Agriculture includes three problem statements and your team will choose a problem statement and work on a solution!
- How might we identify the tools that add value to farm businesses to manage climate variability?
- How might we design our communities differently to manage climate variability?
- How might we protect biodiversity in times of climate crisis?
How it works: People come along on the Thursday night to join a team and get briefed on the problem statements then on Friday morning following breakfast at the SMART Farm the teams work to come up with a solution to pitch to a judging panel at the end of the day.
There is prize money of $5000 being offered for the winning team to take their idea to the next level.
The key is diverse teams and ideas, each team will have a facilitator to move you through the process! It’s fun, it’s positive and best of all you get to hear some awesome ideas and meet people from lots of different backgrounds.
If you would like to join us and bring your team ready to fire then that’s also OK!
Registration is available at UNE SRI website.
