CONCERNED ABOUT HEALTH? & CLIMATE CHANGE?

Our day of ground-breaking talks and panels will explore how nature and regenerative farming - including grazing livestock - may hold the key!

Join leading scientists, regenerative farmers, and changemakers for a powerful one-day journey into nature and the hidden forces shaping the climate, your food, your health, and the future - and the role of corporate interests in dictating our choices

We will highlight the importance of going back to nature including the magic of the sun and the small water cycle - created when healthy soil absorbs the rain where it falls, stores the water, hydrates and cools the land and releases it via plants to form clouds and normal rain. Bare ground creates unhealthy soil and can lead to droughts, floods, fires and erosion and the need for chemicals to grow food which of course affects our health.

How nearly all food in supermarkets is grown with toxic chemicals
How farm chemicals affect your gut, brain, fertility & more
How regenerative farming can create healthy soil & produce nutrient-dense food without herbicides & pesticides
How healthy soil & plants create the small water cycle which hydrates & cools the landscape - mitigating climate change, droughts, floods, fires & erosion
How small farms are disappearing, why methane from cows is not the problem & how cows can actually be part of the solution
About ancestral nutrition, how corporate interests have driven food guidelines & how nature & sunlight can be powerful medicine

WE ARE HONOURED TO HAVE AN EXCELLENT LINEUP OF SPEAKERS

Please click on names to view more information about each speaker

Walter Jehne - Internationally recognized soil microbiologist and climate scientist. He has immense field and research experience in soils, grasslands, agriculture and forests at local, national and international (UN) level. “Stop just talking about emissions and focus on the water cycle!” His brilliant whiteboard presentations on soil, water, climate and the 'methane and cows' myths are legendary around the world.

Philip Mulvey – Specialist in soil and water chemistry, author of ‘Ground Breaking - Soil security and Climate Change’ which points out that whilst anthropogenic climate change is happening in parts of the world, we are addressing the wrong problem which, he says, is not just about Co2 emissions but water in the landscape - ie the small water cycle which has been largely destroyed by industrial agriculture

Stuart Andrews - a passionate regenerative farming educator and the son of the legendary Peter Andrews, the visionary behind Natural Sequence Farming (NSF). Carrying his father’s legacy forward, Stuart has evolved the system through hands-on teaching at Tarwyn Park Training showing how healthy soil creates nourishing food, restoring the land, supporting animals, and feeding future generations

Glenn Morris - Regenerative farmer who rode his horse across the Harbour Bridge to raise awareness of the ecological damage caused by land clearing because “vegetation is needed on farms to protect soils and rivers yet governments allow important native vegetation to be cleared more easily instead of supporting investment in the health of our country,”

Martin Royds - Regenerative farmer who has put into practice Natural Sequence farming and holistic management. He has focused on trialing and implementing practices to improve the water cycles, fertility and biodiversity in the landscape.

Dr Ron Ehrlich - A leading holistic health advocate, holistic dentist, health coach and a director of Nourishing Australia and The Ancestral Nutrition Foundation, author of book “A Life Less Stressed” and podcaster. A former president of ACNEM -The Australasian College of Nutritional & Environmental Medicine, He is passionate about regenerative farming, having interviewed many greats including Allan Savory, Joel Salatin, Charlie Massey, Charlie Arnott, Fred Provenza and more.

Belinda Fettke describes herself as a health disruptor and change-agent challenging the health benefit claims of the last 50 years of low-fat high carb messaging and has done amazing research into the vested interests and religious ideology shaping our ‘plant-biased’ dietary and health guidelines including the food pyramid and the corrupted narrative of the so-called Blue Zones around the world.

Dr Max Gulhane - a practicing Australian Health-Optimizing Physician and health educator. Dr Max’s current focus of work includes metabolic disease reversal, circadian biology driven by the sun, low carbohydrate & carnivore nutrition, fertility & pregnancy optimization, endocrine disrupting chemicals, food system decentralization and regenerative farming with an emphasis on Nguni cattle. Interestingly he suggests that the base of the food pyramid should be light and darkness which he says are actually key nutrients for mitochondrial health. (Recorded video)

Dr Matt Landos is a veterinary scientist, researcher, and passionate advocate for environmental health. With decades of experience in aquatic animal medicine and toxicology, he has uncovered alarming links between agricultural chemicals and ecosystem collapse and is now sounding the alarm for human health.

Sam Betteridge is an Urban Agro-ecologist and Regenerative Educator who is passionate about teaching people about the importance and achievability of Urban Agricultural practices bringing sustainability into classrooms & communities. He is Education & Community Gardens Manager for Water Ups, a company transforming water-saving through wicking technology.

Nourishing Australia is a Non-profit organization.

We are a small, registered charity. We raise awareness about the need to nourish our soils, water, plants, animals, people, and ultimately our planet. We educate about how Regenerative Farming, including livestock, can create healthy soil, mitigate climate change, and produce healthy nutrient-dense food. Over the years we have run events and supported groups and causes which align with our philosophy and aims including funds for Hope for Health in Arnhem Land, an ACNEM scholarship for a rural doctor, Farmers Footprint and more. If you are interested in supporting us with a tax-deductible donation or being a sponsor to help us with our work please contact us - we would be very grateful.
