- Sustainability in action: Discover how the circular economy is being brought to life in Barham, NSW, creating valuable products while reducing environmental impacts.
- Collaborative success: Learn about the power of co-design, uniting industry, government, producers, researchers, and the community to tackle environmental challenges and boost agricultural productivity.

- Get insights into a pilot program addressing agricultural and forestry waste challenges.
