About the micro-credential
Freshwater Risk Management From Horticultural Production
Fruition Horticulture, in partnership with Horticulture New Zealand, are proud to offer an exciting new opportunity to learn about concerns and practices to reduce environmental risks from horticultural operations.
Limited funded places are available for the first participants in the Freshwater Risk Management from Horticultural Production Micro-Credential. The course has been developed to prepare and develop the horticulture industry’s ability to respond to risks posed to freshwater from horticulture production.
The day will consist of classroom learning and an onsite visit to a horticultural production site. Online classes will be available for those unable to attend in person.
Participants will learn about risks posed to freshwater from horticultural production and mitigation strategies to minimise these risks. The micro-credential will require a commitment of 100 hours of learning from a mixed mode of in-person, online classroom and self-directed learning. Delivery of the micro-credential will take place over a 4 week period, yet participants will have 3 months to submit assessments.
