Clinton brings decades of practical agroforestry experience and a grounded, systems-based approach to integrating trees into productive farming landscapes. This field day will focus on real-world examples of multi-storey farming systems and how trees can support long-term resilience, productivity, and farm function.

The event is free to attend, with morning tea and lunch provided.

A bus will depart from Yarram Recreation Reserve at 9:00am, returning approximately 4:00pm.

“Toxic synthetic pesticides and soluble chemical fertilizers are damaging our health and harming the environment. They significantly contribute to the rise of chronic diseases, the decline of insects, birds, and other species, as well as widespread pollution, algae blooms in our streams and rivers, and dead zones in the oceans. This is justified on the notion that without poisoning our food and environment, we would starve.

This is a mythology created through ongoing misinformation campaigns by the poison cartels, their captive media, researchers, academics, and regulators. This article clearly shows that we can produce more food that is healthier without these toxic, degenerative inputs.��Most of the 3 billion people who earn a living from agriculture farm on 5 acres (2 hectares) or less and live in extreme poverty. 80 years of industrial agriculture haven’t improved their situation.

Research shows that traditional smallholder farming systems see higher yields when they use well-practiced organic methods. Significant yield gains can be achieved by teaching these farmers to adopt science-based regenerative organic practices into their traditional techniques.”��
