MCU14/0028 Vision Statement

     7. Research
There are many examples of farms in Australia that operate successfully with similar concepts and production procedures. These
include Taranki Farm, Woodend, VIC, which were on gardening Australia a few years ago. You can see the article at:
http://www.abc.net.au/gardening/stories/s3515996.htm

Many of our concepts have come from Joel Salatin, who gained an international reputation for the way he transformed
his once-degraded farm in Virginia, USA into a profitable organic enterprise. He was recently interviewed on
Landline: http://www.abc.net.au/landline/content/2014/s3955003.htm

We have recently attended a ‘Certificate in Sustainable Agriculture’, conducted by Nutri-Tech, a Nutrition Farming
company that supports biological management. Conducted by Greame Sait, ‘Nutrition Rules!’. www.nutri-
tech.com.au

Allan Savory has been mentioned by a number of people on our journey. 6 months ago he was interviewed on
Landline, http://www.abc.net.au/landline/content/2013/s3822642.htm He is our next port of call.
