Di spoke at the NutriSoil Annual Event – A New Agriculture on June 28 2018 to a crowd of over 212 attendees. She explains how they are cropping on broad acreage in marginal conditions using Nutrisoil and a compost extract they make themselves, minimal chemical and next to no synthetic fertilisers.

Regenerative Dairy Farmers (West Wales UK)
Compassion in dairy farming by Patrick Holden on 8 March, 2019 in Patrick’s Blog.
Because I am an organic dairy farmer and I am aware that more and more people are questioning the ethics of dairy farming, I thought it might be appropriate to share my perspective on why I still feel, after 45 years of milking cows, that it is possible to develop and maintain a relatively harmonious relationship with dairy cows.
We farm in West Wales, near Lampeter; here is our story.

Orchard
Holistic Orcharding with Michael Phillips.
Every farm and homestead can enjoy the timeless pleasure of a fruit orchard. Yet this can also be challenging, because few people today have the depth of knowledge and experience that’s needed to produce healthy trees and nutritious, great-tasting fruit. At the same time, both orchardists and consumers are looking to avoid spraying harmful and expensive chemicals on their trees.

Based 30 kms east of Wellington, NSW, The poultry business complements their beef and sheep enterprises.

Our shorthorn cattle spend all their lives on our property, without the use of chemicals, vaccinations or hormones. We use organic and Biodynamic principles to manage our soils, grasses, trees and animals, ensuring that all aspects of our environment are considered in a holistic fashion, giving due consideration to the intricate relationships and balance that exists between all living things within the boundaries of our property.

Mobile abattoir – Provenir
Chris Balazs is a farmer who realized that there was a real need to remove the transport aspect of growing meat so that the animal’s welfare was priority. Farmers love their animals but the flaw in our meat production system is in the last 3 days. Animals that are stressed release huge amounts of stress hormones that affect the quality of meat, this is passed down the food chain into our digestive system and is not good for our health.
