• Intro to Regeneration Farming 101

  I don’t have any substantial experience at all in growing my own food, let alone for any market. Now I have a basic grasp of the science behind healthy soil. I also have an appreciation of the weighty personal commitment required to have any measurable success at sustainable farming. There’s no shying away from the initial financial toll here, either. The seemingly repetitive, mundane nature of much of the transformative work is, I suspect, evidence of the discipline required for the task at hand.
  
  Obviously Rachel Ward is relaxed in front of a camera but the other key subjects are also engaging. I’m referring to both humans and animals in this regard.
  
  The scenery is cinematic and seeing a doco on current and local issues on my neighbourhood cinema screen added much to the good experience.
