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.

Walking with knowledge

Walking with knowledge

Diego Bonetto was invited to talk about weeds, but not the usual talk on how to kill them, but new/old perspectives: define what is useful, acknowledge abundance and even harvest the seasonal supply as food produce.

A Feast of Weeds

Diego Bonetto is creating Wildfood Store, a marketplace for the by-product of farming: weeds. This sounds good, forward thinking and inventive, but the common thread that keeps surfacing is that people do not know what to do with them.

Wild food expert Diego Bonetto is running a workshop for people in the Mudgee region interested in taking part in a pilot program that will harvest, package and deliver wild foods to Sydney chefs.
