Hi everyone, I hope you’re all well, on the last day of regenerate in Albury there were a few of us talking and some of you from Brissie were saying you get your water from a local spring, I’m not sure if you’re in this group but any ideas the name of the spring? Hoping to get some while I’m visiting.

It’s never been more important for our health and the earths health to support your local farmer… it’s a tough gig daily battling elements and government red tape… please seek out your local farmers and purchase your bodies nourishment from them 🙏

Time to be still. Although AU will not witness this eclipse US, the Americans & NZ will … we will all feel it 24hrs either side. Plants and animals will feel it too. Please let them be during this time too. AEST times below.🌙 ☀️

Hey guys just a reminder for all those in Sydney today to get down to Pirrama Park for the free meet up happening from 11AM. @Simon Lewis will be there (he’s very tall you won’t miss him). A great opportunity to mingle over these shared ideas!

New proposed changes to the definition of genetically modified foods by the Food Standards Australia are inbound. Only novel DNA would need to be labelled as GMO, and plants that have been gene edited but not contain new DNA would be exempt from labeling. This threatens the integrity of the organic certification and removes the consumers right to know what is in their food. These changes are good for industry, big industrial agricultural producers, the biotechnology firms and have nothing to do with optimal human health. They are a direct assault on consumer choice. Paola Crofts, regenerative organic farmer and owner of Tall Poppy Farm in Mt Macedon, Victoria and I discussed this in the recent Fire Pit Chat (recording below). What you can do 1. INFORM YOURSELF - read this summary by the organic cooperative and register on the blog link above to be kept up to date. Watch the video recording below. Read the Webinar details from the FSANZ (tiles below). 2. COMPLETE THE SURVEY - available here and on the above link. 3. MAKE A SUBMISSION To FSANZ - via this website or via email submissions@foodstandards.gov.au emphasising your concern about new proposals. 4. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL MEMBER - start with your state food minister expressing your concerns about this decision. 5. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL REGENERATIVE FARMER - spend your money with people who are raising chemical free, GMO free food and not with the centralized, industrialized food system. Check the farmers directory on the thread to find one near you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can copy paste this letter template in a email submission:
