Curious about organics? Already an established organic grower? This is a area of increasing interest to Maori, not only for the alignment with indigenous values & worldview but financially it is making increasing sense.

The many facets of organic production will be explored during the two-day BIO-GRO Conference 2004 Hamilton 20, 21 June themed Organics on the Move.

Success stories and presentations on how to convert to organics, the latest research, marketing and exporting, and working with the RMA will be given. There will be sessions devoted to specific areas too: dairy and meat, horticulture, viticulture, and aquaculture, with realted speakers & site visits scheduled.

Info on the latest in organic managment practice & research, as well as the keys to successful marketing & export will cater to established growers.
