This extraordinary conference which was organised by Dr Christine Jones resulted in a very exciting 2 days for all who attended.

The future of the Australian nation depends on healthy soils.

A lot of farmers see the benefit. They know what the benefits are, but there’s also a massive number of people that just don’t know

Further comments on Bill HR 875 or the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009.
Both of the bills do aim to make factory-farmed food safer so we can avoid E.coli in spinach and to regulate other aspects of the food industry, and probably include regulations that most of us would support. There is an issue if small and family-owned farms are required to comply as there are far fewer problems associated with them, but high costs of compliance.
