Flood and drought Resilience Webinar Details
This is the event description on the Business Wales Event Finder:
“In a time of accelerating climate change, this webinar aims to address the vital techniques we might use to make our farms resilient in the face of both flood and drought. We aim to move beyond the paradigm which frames water management as a problem, to one which recognises water management as an opportunity; we will discuss ways of using living systems and mirroring nature to increase productivity and resilience, whilst also enjoying biodiversity gain and watershed-level remediation.
This webinar will take the form of a panel discussion and will include Paul Lynch from Ireland, a Permaculture teacher and designer who combines engineering, architecture and regenerative landscape design in his work, and Abel Pearson, a farmer, permaculture educator and founder of Glasbren, a community food and farming project which has found a new home at the 134 acre National Trust farm, Parc yr Arglwydd/Lords Park farm.“
Webinar Learning Outcomes
- Participants will understand a range of techniques that can be used to improve water management on a holding level, including conventional rainwater harvesting, earthworks and planting schemes.
- These strategies will be presented as an integrated approach that can be applied across a horticulture or farm holding.
- A range of approaches will be discussed so that participants will learn how they might undertake water management improvement within their budget.
- These water management strategies will be explained in the context of their productive potential for farm enterprises.
- Holding-scale strategies will be put in the context of watershed-wide benefits.
