Penola has taken the title of 2024 Agricultural Town of the Year 🥳 On the state’s Limestone Coat, Penola, part of the renowned Coonawarra region, is a town of 1,400 people. Ag town judges noted the agricultural variety of the town, including dairy, beef, forestry, wine and more, as “ag upon ag upon ag”. Additionally, the town’s commitment to agricultural education and its strong collaboration between its local community and its council was another stand out. The second award presented last night was the Regional Resilience Award, and we congratulate OzFish Unlimitedas the winner. This volunteer group has restored fish habitats in the Bundaleer Reservoir, improving the ecosystem for species such as the Murray Cod. This project has built a strong relationship with the community to support sustainable future fishing practices. 🙌 PIRSA, with Solstice Media, was proud to present these awards last night to the winners and we congratulate all other finalists for their hard work. We look forward to seeing your communities thrive. InDaily | Wattle Range Council

Today is International Day of Climate Action, dedicated to raising awareness about the urgent need to address our changing climate. Did you know carbon farming provides opportunities to address climate change, can increase production efficiency and improve resilience? Carbon farming is managing land to reduce carbon in the atmosphere, and through the Growing Carbon Farming Demonstration Pilot, we are supporting six projects that focus on reducing emissions and storing carbon, as well as other co-benefits like improving biodiversity. See how one South Australian farmer is boosting productivity and resilience in their system through a focus on increasing soil carbon.
