'Farming without farming'

Christine, Darryl, Colin, Bruce and Greg, want to redefine our attitude to land management, to think about Australian farming in new ways.

Each has a story to tell: about soil regeneration, or increasing biodiversity or increasing profitability. They believe in a new era, not simply planting and waiting for the results, but managing land for a range of living things.

They are a diverse group. Darryl, Colin and Bruce run mixed farms, Greg works for the company Earth Sanctuaries, and Christine Jones specialises in native grass and grasslands. They are pooling their talents to record past experiences in a manual and offer a challenge to future land managers.

Christine Jones' chapter Recognise, Relate, Innovate is available by clicking on the link.

A copy of the manual 'Farming without farming' can be obtained from the STIPA Native Grasses Association Inc for $48 plus postage and handling $5.10.
