Your Story	I currently work as an environmental engineer for a water utility focusing on water treatment. In general, I am passionate about all forms of environmental sustainability, however as I grew up on a farm and will possibly take over custodianship of this land in the future I am very interested in how it can be managed in a sustainable way. I know there is a huge amount of potential to improve upon current practices both in terms of ecological benefit and economic return. So I am working on building my knowledge base and skill sets to be able to make land management decisions which can lead to a more regenerative form of farming in our context.
Challenges I can best help others solve are:	Some knowledge of water and soil chemistry, water system design an tree farming
Key challenges I would like to solve are:	Assessing soil health and developing land management practices for improving soil health
