The Next Step for Farmers and Growers - Maximizing Productivity by Mimicking Nature for pastures, orchards and gardens with Siobhan Griffin.
Siobhan explains some of the science around how the symbiosis of pasture plants, fruit trees and shrubs, and animals can mimic highly productive and abundant pristine ecosystems. These concepts apply to pastural systems, orchards and gardens.
She covers how she sequestered 100 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per hectare in her soils, reduced drought risk, and created a more resilient farm and spray-free orchard with fewer pests.
