In the Summer 2022 issue of Australian Organic Connect, you’ll find a full summary of the Australian Organic Industry Awards held on 25 November, including all category winners and pictures from our Hunter Valley ceremony. Elsewhere, we take a look at the approaching summer solstice and explore the rise of certified biodynamic principles in winemaking. In a feature article, horticulturist Clair Bickle explains how to keep your summer harvest rolling in with a range of well-known veggie favourites that just love the heat and humidity. This issue also features a 2022 update on the organic beef industry from AOL Director Iain Scholes, an introduction to AOL’s new Chairman and Directors, plus we learn more about five AOL member companies, ranging from allowed input innovators to organic growers and a first-of-its-kind liquor producer.
