Farmers in Flux

It’s funny how time gets away from you. This year I took the big leap to study full-time Honours in Ecology at UNE, and while I am loving every minute of it, my brain is too full of measuring pasture groundcover and landscape function to make space for anything else. And so, despite my best intentions I am yet to publish my farmer stories for ‘Farmers in Flux’.

The Grazing Game

Imogen Semmler and Judi Earl have cooked up something fabulous: The Grazing Game. How do you maintain a healthy ecosystem in your paddocks, weather drought, withstand market fluctuations and other curve balls, while making a living from keeping livestock? Imogen got Cementa punters to wear their strategy hats last November at the first trial of the Game.

Wouldn’t we all wish to have a pilot license at the age of 87 and be inventing remarkably useful things. Meet the indomitable Allan Yeomans and hear about Lucas’s journey into soil carbon sequestration toolmaking in our latest video.

Humus: its Chemical, Physical and Biological properties that are essential for life

Our deepest dive yet into the science of humus with Glenn Morris. The key message remains: the complexity of nature may continue to elude full scientific scrutiny, but we know enough to respect it and support its regeneration.

“Salad-bowl” pasture anyone? Read about the Hallora Farm tour and soil sample demo in this blog, but you can also be part of conversation with the farmers Niels and Maja Olsen, Lucas, Allan Yeomans, Dru Marsh and Loisa Kiely from Carbon Farmers of Australia at Monash University Art Museum tomorrow, March 23, 2-4pm. Link to details is in the blog!

Yeomans Carbon Still on show in Melbourne!

Yeomans Carbon Still on show in Melbourne!

What if farmers were paid to adopt farming methods that ensured that the carbon that is causing trouble in our atmosphere was sequestered in their soils?  This tantalising possibility is explored in Lucas Ihlein's collaborative project with Allan Yeomans called 'Baking Earth: Soil and the Carbon Economy', which is currently part of an exhibition in Melbourne.

Baking Dirt: Soil and the Carbon Economy

Lucas Ihlein reports back from his visit to Allan Yeomans’ workshop on the Gold Coast. Here he got to witness how Allan’s amazing invention to measure carbon content in soil actually functions. It involved some serious baking…
