Our Hortgro Footprint Webinar series covers essential and relevant sustainability topics for the deciduous fruit industry, such as sustainable agricultural practices for soil health and green financing opportunities. This year, we will also incorporate topics on sustainable packaging, carbon calculations/how to become a carbon hero and water efficiency in packhouses. Our communication strategy includes sharing innovative technologies, mitigation measures, case studies, and demonstration projects to help us become resilient and enhance our ability to adapt to climate change. Every bit helps us get closer to achieving our sustainability vision.
