About The SAC Series

SAC Meetings are a bi-monthly gathering of members of the University of Otago and greater Dunedin community who are interested in agricultural sustainability. The format will include short, informal presentations followed by Q&A and discussion.

Broad-ranging, convivial, and informal in nature, SAC Fridays are intended to provide a forum for rigorous, exploratory discussions about agricultural sustainability that bridge diverse disciplinary and professional perspectives.

All welcome—please circulate this invitation to friends and colleagues.
