Your Story

Since 2001 I have been undertaking inovative forestry research in a semi arid region of the Central Wheatbelt. In 2018/19/23 I travelled to Nepal to teach students at universities, schools and community farming groups. 

Challenges I can best help others solve are:

Lowering water table to address salinity

Key challenges I would like to solve are:

How to deal with current beliefs that are deeply entrenched in academia and politics that are detremental to regenerative farming/landcare practices
