Now this unique process is available for you to use on your own farm. We are currently developing a new elearning course called:

FARMING SMARTER —

THE TOPOCLIMATE PROCESS AND USING BETTER QUALITY INFORMATION
ON YOUR LAND RESOURCES TO IMPROVE YOUR FARMING SYSTEMS

What is Farming Smarter E-Learning?

Farming Smarter is an integrated e-learning programme based on practical application of the Topoclimate process.

Topoclimate has been used by thousands of farmers throughout the world to increase profitability through the maximum utilisation of information on natural resources.

Sound farming decisions can only be made from the systematic gathering of data on microclimates, soils, environmental management and water resources and conversion of this data into useful and profitable information.

The nine module course will explain how this can be achieved using real case histories of farmers who have used the Topoclimate processes to improve the sustainable productivity of their farms.

This course is suited to anyone involved in the farming community including farmers, their partners, farm employees, rural Landcare Group Members and other rural service industry workers.

What will I learn from the Farming Smarter E-Learning Course?

In the Farming Smarter integrated e-learning programme, you will learn:

• the importance and value of information for making better farming decisions
  
  
• how to identify and prioritise the physical parameters that affect your farm and your environment;

• at the completion of the course you will know how to convert measured data into useful information through a better understanding of natural processes;
  
  
• how to identify farming options for your own land that you may not have previously considered;
