The Wire

When British settlers arrived in Australia they farmed the land as if it was Europe, unaware that they were destroying a much more ancient and fragile eco-system. Farmer Charles Massey says it’s time to try to reverse the damage done. His book is an expose of the global profit-obsessed business of industrial agriculture which he argues  is endangering the planet. He believes innovative farmers are already leading a quiet revolution that offers the only way forward  for Australia’s food supply, landscape and health.
