Water for Any Farm
Applying restoration agriculture water management methods on your farm.
Mark Shepherd presents the goal to capture every drop of rainwater and utilise it for your farm or landscape by implementing a ‘keyline’ design methodology… which allows the water to slow, to spread and then to soak in.
Mark’s insights enable restorative farmers to capture water in areas they want to, and avoid having water flow immediately to the low point.
The result? Less water expense, healthier crops and livestock, and less erosion.

Teaming with Bacteria
The organic gardener’s guide to endophytic bacteria and the rhizophagy cycle.
In Teaming with Bacteria Jeff Lowenfels introduces endophytic bacteria - microbes: bacteria that live harmlessly inside plant cells.
Jeff explains how to harness this rhizophagy cycle, an amazing process where plants literally ‘farm’ soil bacteria for nutrients.
Through this we better understand: plant nutrient supply; root growth; disease & stress and organic practices.
Jeff emphasises organic, regenerative gardening to protect these crucial microbes and their plant health role.

Tuning in to Nature
Phil Callahan recounts the journey of a twenty-year adventure in which he unraveled the mysteries of insect infrared communications and navigational systems.
Phil exposes why certain insects are attracted only to certain plants - namely that insects use infrared sensing to target weak, nutrient-imbalanced plants, meaning traditional pesticides merely treat the symptom rather than addressing the root cause of crop health.
