Join us for an afternoon with our panel of specialists exploring how we can take action to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions through the way we manage our greens.
Dr Ian Porter is an Associate Professor with LaTrobe University and formally Statewide Leader of Plant Pathology research within the Department of Economic Development. He is also a Co-Chair of a UN Committee which assists countries worldwide find sustainable solutions to ozone depleting substances (such as methyl bromide) under the Montreal Protocol. Ian has led national research programs on integrated pest management, mitigation of ozone and climate gasses (including N2O) and management of soil health programs in horticultural industries.
These projects have required being aware of global regulatory and environmental policies which impact the way future crop production will occur in agricultural industries.
He has been recognised for his leadership internationally on the transition from controlled uses of methyl bromide, and his contribution to the phase-out of methyl bromide uses in Australia including research and promotion of alternatives.
