- Day 1 in Dandaragan, Western Australia hosted Dr Christine Jones as keynote speaker. This was a combined effort with Ellen Walker (Earthwhile Australia) and Rachelle Armstrong (SRF) and other regenerative coaches participated in the Q and A session in the afternoon. A mixture of story telling and experience created an enjoyable learning environment with some excellent wisdom being exchanged around the room.
Earthwhile Australia has been educating and encouraging 3 local farmers to trial some regenerative practices and this event was organised by Ellen Walker and sponsored by DPIRD and other organisations in the local area.
Regenerative Farming is taking a surge forward into our future, name any problem we face today and when you follow the trail back to grassroots, the answer is Regenerative Farming. Health; both mental and physical, environment on land, rivers and the sea, the atmosphere, the entire food system, education and a circular economy.
These videos are to help connect farmers and customers to each other and to our land. We have to Listen to Country before it is too late.

A true legend of human progress..we will miss you Christine. God bless you
Great Job Christine, loved the QnA. I always learn something from you no matter how many times I hear you speak. Thank you for sharing.
That's one tough gig. The BS-resistant farmers are after specific information and Dr. Jones and the team have to try and present the Holistic approach as a comfortable (well-researched) start point and benchmark. My guess is to argue the point that very little will be failure if the basics are always at the front of the farmers mind: get the soil settled and covered (365d) with a diverse and living cover (with no outlaw plants), and get some animals in to recycle the green cover. The ambitious will be composting and developing a spraying routine, before during and after the cash season.
Another amazing presentation from Dr Chistine Jones!
DrCJ is a legend and I love it when she hands it over to others for further clarification and observations.
i love this revolution....
Auto inducers...
We need a whole video with Christen on this subject.
Well, with and the whole enchilada of the context of how it works with the use of compost extract.

Look up Qorum sensing DrCJ has spoken to other regen people about this. It’s a fantastic topic.
@FarmingRevolution
Yep.
I seen that video many times, as well as all of her videos. Both from the US and Australia.
She's awesome.
💟❤️🌎🌍❤️💟
Martin is an absolute riot
😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤
Thanks
Yes he is! I liken him to an exuberant puppy but once his think muscle is switched on there is no stopping him. He adds smiles to his audience so I'm happy he's apart of this storytelling channel. 💚

It always makes it more interesting to watch and learn when you are talking. As Tamzin said, your exuberance it felt making the learning experience apart the ecosystem.
Makes us all think about everything as a whole.
Love to see how you grow and always think how to make improvements.

At 10:50 dr. Jones mentions african lovegrass is a symbol of disfuncyion and infertile soil. But what if this plant is there for a reason. For instance, as peter andrews mentions weeds are there to fix fertility. Can this be the case or am i missing something??
Yes it is there for a reason, it is there to start the soil function as it is a low succession plant, you are correct. However, Mother Nature (MN) needs a hand to help speed up the process of improving the soil health, so by spraying molasses and biological inputs on these low succession plants you encourage livestock or wildlife to eat the unwanted species. By doing this, what do you think you are creating? A perfect environment to improve the soil, correct. So by grazing animals you are having a 2 fold effect, they are eating the unwanted species and then converting that matter to active fertiliser. Therefore speeding up the process of moving away from Lovegrass and towards another species of slightly higher succession. If you have the same weeds in your paddock year on year out then you are not improving your soil. Weeds come and go depending if MN feels they are needed if they are not needed then your soil is healthy and you are doing a great job.
Great question @SarbsukhSingh thank you.
Thank you for great lecture, truly eye opening.
I am trying to find sources for claim "adding water soluble phosphorus inhibit soil building process", I am trying to convince agronomists I work for to at least try it on part of the land, but they request some evidence (even thou it is common sense for me).
Is there some scientific research supporting it, it would greatly help our cause.
Thank you for sharing with us.
I’ve just asked Martin if he would answer your question as it’s above my level of knowledge. He’s driving a truck atm so look out for it in next couple of days 💚
@@FarmingRevolution, still looking forward to reading your response to this query.
Thanks for your work.
What is the full name of farmer speaking at 25.40?
That’s Martin Williams. He’s a seed grader. He has a playlist on this channel too.
