🛰️🐑South West Foodbowl Agriculture Awareness Days🔬🌾 17-18 Oct 2024 in Nannup. South Regional TAFE were proud to support this biennial event to promote the diverse array of careers in the agrifood and primary industries to more than 700 students across the south west region. Truffle hunting with dogs, wool classing, robotics, entomology, biosecurity, marron farming, soil scientist, chef, and biologist were some of the career pathways the students were exposed. There were visits to local farms to view production practices and gain a greater understanding of where food comes from including - pregnancy testing on cattle, apple orchard (with tastings 🍎🍏), cheese making and poultry farm (with opportunities to be interactive and cuddle a chicken🐓). An incredible couple of days with lots of curiosity and laughter. Thank you to all organisers, sponsors, volunteers, businesses and schools for making the learnings so memorable 🤩 Department of Primary Industries & Regional Development - Murdoch University - Curtin University #agriculture #skills #training #careers #futurejobs #connections #nannup #professionaldevelopment #environment #foodproduction #robotics #horticulture

Have been delving into WA’s sustainable packaging industry lately and had the absolute pleasure of meeting with Adarsh Fibre. This team clearly has a passion for innovation 🙌🏽 Adarsh Fibre is an initiative of Adarsh Australia, and was established to provide more sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging and medical goods to the market. The pulp processing plant is capable of processing up to 3000 tonnes of waste paper and cardboard originally destined for landfill. The opportunities seem endless. Very much looking forward to seeing WA consumers embrace these changes and supporting WA innovation and entrepreneurship. 🌱🧃👍🏻 Thanks for having me.

Been out visiting farms this week and the landscape is rapidly changing as we approach harvest. I was particularly delighted and fascinated to see some of the old ways of bailing hay hadn’t changed … whilst hard work, the commitment by farmers to bring in their crop is inspiring. I have a whole world of respect for this amazing industry. Food Fibre and Timber Industries Training Council (WA)
