Resurgence: Sustainable Farming Today creates a familiar space for those striving toward a more sustainable future. While sustainability often brings horticulture to mind as the primary path forward, this work challenges the belief that dairy farming and other forms of agriculture are damaging to our ecosystems. It highlights the strength and perseverance of the farmers using sustainable farming techniques and urges the sharing of knowledge and aspirations with others.
So began the search for the farmers taking responsibility for our land and sea. The cows back to their calves, the fishermen collecting prawns individually, and the kelp farmers giving back to our oceans. The beauty and creativity found in these corners of our small island are ones of hope that will lead the way to a better future for our ecosystems, us, and our planet. The image shown is of dairy farmer Oliver from How Now Dairy with his compost heap made from milk packaging. This is then used to fertilise the land, resulting in a full-circle process.
