I was extremely honoured to we awarded the Australian Government Landcare Farming Award yesterday! I can't begin to express how important this incredible acknowledgment means to me. Thanks to Landcare for their tireless efforts to support Australian farmers and land managers.

It’s a simple start but the market may drive change in farming systems before farmers are ready. Or wil you finally get recognised and paid for your management. #soilheath

Livestock in a polytunnel! Love it 😂 #reintegration
Great to see my talk did create a change in thinking for one audience member sheep going into polytunnel to eat the cover crop instead of incorporation! #livestock #regenerativeag
