I have only recently become aware of the potential for environmental disaster linked to the extraction of coal seam gas. This morning I received an email from my brother, Bryan, featuring a YouTube video that had a profound effect upon me. I was horrified and enraged to witness the potential

Recently I travelled home to New Zealand for a family wedding. During my visit I was shopping at a health food shop and purchased a little book called “Learn to Listen”. I read the book and was fascinated with the content. When checking the author’s details I found that

Have you ever felt like you are painted into a corner? Your one cash crop seems to require more chemical and fertiliser inputs each year but prices for your produce remain static. Welcome to modern agriculture, where precious food producers have been railroaded into an input-driven system on the premise

It is often assumed that a move to organic growing involves a sacrifice. There is an expectation that yields will drop and you will fall in a financial hole for 2 or 3 years until lower input costs and higher premiums for your produce help to compensate. That may have

It is essential that we fully understand both our past and our present circumstances to enable the move toward a more sustainable future. Often this involves an honest appraisal of where we are at and how we got there, and to do this we need to look behind the veil

It is a privilege to witness the positive changes unfolding in response to the massive challenges confronting modern agriculture. In a classic example of the silver lining that can sometimes be found in storm clouds, two looming crises are set to trigger tremendous outcomes for the soil, the people and

Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, suggested that our food should be our medicine and our medicine our food. The profundity of that statement is now quantified on a regular basis as science unravels the mind-boggling array of protective biochemicals found in fresh food. It is not just the new

Graeme Sait demonstrates the use of the refractometer, an invaluable tool in sustainable agriculture to monitor plant health and inherent pest resistance. Brix levels are a guideline to nutrient density, disease resistance, frost protection, soil fertility, crop quality and yield. If you cannot see or play this video, please download
