How Small Farms Can (Sustainably) Feed The Future

"Small farms farm better.

And large farms can’t.

Small farms are the best hope that we hold of feeding a future of 9 billion (and beyond). At the same time they hold the potential to redistribute wealth, conserve biodiversity, secure livelihoods for some of the world’s most marginalised and ensure a continuation of traditional cultural relationships with the land. They are truly our most sustainable option."

"Sustainable development in agriculture would ensure that the economic, social, environmental and cultural needs of present and future generations are met. Sustainable agriculture rests on these four pillars."

What Insect Was That?

In November we visited Tricia's garden in Brierfield.

Debbie Kent, an entomologist who has worked for both the NSW Department of Agriculture and NSW Forestry, identified any insect brought to the gathering.  A civilised gathering. Deb explaining Insects 101 Of course we always share fantastic food. Checking out that insect photo.
