Martin and I attended Joel Salatin's Masterclass "You can Farm" on Sunday at Kiama. It was convened by Milkwood and it was wonderful. Very well attended and packed full of inspiring information about how to turn a block of land into a productive, profitable farming enterprise. He is an inspiring innovator with an enthusiasm for educating about possibilities and developing young farmers.
My scratch notes say:
Farming should build soil
Perennials build soil
Seek ecological self sufficiency
Animals move - portable infrastructure (you can farm on borrowed ground)
Sanitation - rest and sunshine and compost bedding.
Portable and plentiful water.
Stacking
Function over form
Become the whole component in the chain
Wellness is the terrain we create
Diversification in everything.
Repopulate farms - join with young people
and a million other ideas - READ HIS BOOKS.
