Sustainability has a lot of meanings for an agricultural business and we’ll be exploring a bunch of them at this year’s AOA National Olive Industry Conference & Trade Exhibition.
Now only a month or so away, the 2024 national gathering is being held at the All Seasons Hotel, Bendigo, Victoria from 23-25 October. An optional Field Tour on Wednesday, 23 October will precede the main event, with the plenary program running across Thursday, 24 and Friday, 25 October.
The Conference Dinner on Thursday night will once again provide an opportunity to relax mid-way and network over great food and wine, while the Australian International Olive Awards (AIOA) Presentation Dinner (optional – separate ticket) will be held on the Friday night following the close of the Conference.
This year’s plenary program takes a ‘big picture’ look at a sustainable olive business, covering a wide range of topics which contribute to long-term viability and success. From the office to the grove, they explore structural and management considerations which can assist in ensuring longevity for olive businesses, the industry and the agricultural land we work with.
The optional Field Day will visit Cobram Estate and Salute Oliva at Boort, providing insight into two successful and sustainable olive businesses run at very different scales and under different management systems, while the Trade Exhibition will feature products, services and expert advice to help increase the sustainability and viability of your own olive business.
