Meet your trainer
Subik Baso is the Cultural Education Coordinator and Educator at CERES School of Nature and Climate. Subik graduated with a Bachelor of Agriculture where he learned about the application of Green Revolution methods on farming practices in Indonesia. Soon after graduation, Subik was asked to be involved in a composting project funded by the Canadian Government. It was a program that looked into a potential natural fertiliser in the farming industry, as well as the production and the trial of the product in several areas in Makassar, South Sulawesi. This involvement led Subik to a very different path from what he learned in university. Subik then worked for a research company Operation Wallacea (Opwall) based in the UK before moving to Australia. Living in Australia enhanced Subik’s passion for the environment by working in a native nursery, as well as helping several friends to re-vegetate a depleted property into a beautiful native garden. Working at CERES gives Subik a great chance to learn in the broader context of the environment and social justice whilst continuing his passion, which is gardening.
