SUMMARY:LiteFarm Farm Management Software Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Learn how a free farm management platform can support record keeping\, crop planning\, and climate resilience. \n\n\n\n\nCurious whether a farm management app could save you time\, improve your records\, and support better decision-making on your farm? \nJoin us for a practical webinar introducing LiteFarm\, a free farm management platform designed for diversified\, organic\, and regenerative farms. You’ll see how LiteFarm can help with crop planning\, record keeping\, soil management\, and day-to-day farm operations\, while maintaining farmer control over their data. \nWe’ll also introduce a new Agroecology & Climate Resilience Assessment being piloted in BC. Through the assessment\, producers will receive personalized insights into their farm’s strengths and opportunities while contributing to research aimed at supporting more resilient farming systems. \nWhy Attend? \n\nLearn how LiteFarm can support farm planning\, record keeping\, and decision-making.\nExplore tools designed for organic and regenerative farming systems.\nUnderstand the costs\, benefits\, and practical applications of farm management software.\nLearn how to assess and track agroecological practices on your farm.\nConnect directly with the research team and LiteFarm staff.\nFind out how to participate in the pilot project.\n\nThis session is designed to support real‑world decision‑making. A key goal of the webinar is to connect with farmers who are curious about biochar\, interested in seeing on‑farm demonstrations\, or open to trialing it within their own operations. \nThis webinar is intended for small-hold farmers\, mixed farmers\, farm advisors\, and others looking for practical\, research‑informed farm management tools. \n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER! \n\n~~~ \nThe work shared in this webinar is underway as part of the Agroecology for Climate Resilience project at UBC’s Institute for Resources\, Environment and Sustainability (IRES)\, in collaboration with Organic BC.
