The brightest minds in dairy are coming together to showcase the industry’s most recent scientific research and developments in carbon, sustainability, business and farming production for the Dairy Research Foundation’s Symposium in November.
Held at The University of Sydney’s Camden campus and Corstorphine Farm the Dairy Research Foundation’s (DRF) Symposium will attract upward of 200 industry providers on Tuesday 7th and Wednesday 8th November.
Presentations from leading industry experts and speakers including Tim Mackle, Former Chief Executive of DairyNZ and Prof. Richard Eckard from Melbourne University will review a range of topics on the future challenges for dairy science including discussions on the carbon ‘reality’ for Australian dairy farmers, industry impact on carbon emissions, resilience in the industry and emerging science topics.
Program Snapshot
Director of the Dairy Research Foundation, Prof. Yani Garcia, said, “We have a fantastic program this year that goes from international and top Australian speakers shining a light on the CARBON reality for dairy farmers.”
“There will also be a dairy-farmer-only panel and Q&A on farming resilience and how to grow the business during adverse years, discussing challenges for farmers and on-the-ground solutions for real-life farming applications,” said Prof. Garcia.
Emerging Scientists
A key contributor to dairy science, the Symposium nurtures and develops young scientists and scientific research in the dairy industry. On day two of the Symposium is an Emerging Scientist’s Program where scientists, currently at university, present their various dairy-related projects and how the findings may be implemented on a farm.
Juan Gargiulo, a PhD graduate, former ‘emerging scientist’ and dairy industry professional said of the Symposium, “The event serves as an invaluable platform for emerging scientists, bridging the gap between research and practical dairy farming. It’s a space where we can engage directly with farmers and service providers, share our findings, and gain first-hand insights. This exchange of knowledge not only enriches early-career scientists but also contributes to a more informed and innovative NSW dairy industry.”
