All events hugely successful!

In Sydney he capacity audience was captivated by Nora who could have talked for days on this subject! Dr Ron Ehrlich's introduction with Dr Weston A Price's photos was fascinating, Bruce Ward's presentation of how large herds of grazing cattle can regenerate degraded land while providing inexpensive nutrient dense food was an eye opener for the city audience and Costa's "Produce not Product" talk was hugely entertaining with a serous message. The food by Agape Organic Restaurant was sublime! A great day!

In Armidale David Mason-Jones showed why grass-fed meat should be on the menu and Rob Blomfield's story about his health transformation was rivetting.

At the Gold Coast Tony Lovell's presentation on cattle, land regeneration and methane challenged the "cattle are bad for the environment" dogma.

Industrial Farming and Food

The tragedy of Industrial agriculture

The quote below from 'The Fatal Harvest' says it all.

"Industrial agriculture is devastating our land, water, and air, and is now threatening the sustainability of the biosphere. Its massive chemical and biological inputs cause widespread environmental havoc as well as human disease and death. Its monoculturing reduces the diversity of our plants and animals. Its habitat destruction endangers wildlife. Its factory farming practices cause untold animal suffering. Its centralized corporate ownership destroys farm communities around the world, leading to mass poverty and hunger. The industrial agriculture system is clearly unsustainable. It has truly become a fatal harvest."

In contrast, nature’s pillars are:

1. Diversified, 2. Complex, 3. Flexible, 4. Biological
