Joel Salatin is a world-leading advocate of farming and food relocalisation. Featured in Michael Pollan’s book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma, and in the films FRESH and FOOD, Inc., Joel Salatin and his family at Polyface Farms exemplify successful small-scale farming and the growing relocalization movement.

 

The Keyline system of farming began with P.A. Yeomans' seminal text "Water for every farm", first published in 1954. Since that time, Keyline concepts have been incorporated into all the major frameworks for sustainable farming and land management techniques, both in Australia and across the globe. The results of using Keyline concepts are far-reaching and un-disputed. With Darren J. Doherty, the world's most respected Keyline educator.

18th & 19th July 09 - Atherton Tablelands • Far North Queensland

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn the benefits of a management system based in beneficial soil biology from compost. Use less water and reduce your needs for fertilizer! Properly made aerobic compost has thousands of bacterial and fungal species. Aerobic compost added to highly aerated water, held at a desired temperature, with the addition of microbe nutrients that feed and thus select the species of microbes desired for the conditions, makes a highly cultured “brew” full of beneficial fungi and bacteria to apply to the soil. Compost tea makes soil more productive, less toxic and more sustainable.
