The Training College Manager at Lincoln University’s Biological Husbandry Unit Organics Trust (BHU) is happy to see a surge in enthusiasm for organic food production as younger generations become more aware of environmental concerns. He says the growing popularity of organic production in recent years means that graduates are now taking what they have learned into a broader range of sectors. “It’s not just about growing, wholesaling and retailing food anymore. They’re going into schools and teaching primary and secondary schoolers about the importance of sustainable farming and gardening and really starting to embed the philosophy into the education system.” As far as conventional agricultural practices are concerned, he says farmers should be encouraged to optimise their production, rather than maximise it at the expense of the environment. “We need to change our agricultural paradigm and re-evaluate our priorities.” Mr Martin says those interested in a career in organics should enrol in the one-year Diploma in Agri-Food Production course, which is open to students either with or without university entrance. Introduced last year, it includes Tikanga and Mahinga Kai components and can lead to employment in organic primary production or other sectors related to organics, especially education and hospitality. “The course offers a good grounding in the principles of organic agriculture, teaching the philosophies and histories of organics and providing practical knowledge of how they are applied,” Mr Martin says. Apply now for the Diploma in Organic Agri-Food Production and begin studying in February 2019. Pets big day out Diamond Harbour School’s annual Pet Day was held during Cup and Show Week. Pupils brought a range of animals to school, including dogs, chickens, ducks and goats. A bake sale was also held to fundraise for the SPCA. About r$200 was raised. Grow a career in organics Lincoln University’s Diploma in Organic Agri-Food Production will prepare you for work in the organic sector or your own garden or smallholdings. It’s a full-time, one-year programme that covers the theory and practice behind contemporary organic agri-food production. Join us in February to find out what growing organically on an agricultural scale really means. Learn more at www.lincoln.ac.nz or call 0800 10 60 10.
