food security

Seven local market gardeners recently met at the SAGE Garden in Queen Street, Moruya, to discuss the current practices they are implementing to build healthy soils and identify how they could achieve resilient soils to cope with drought. The discussion was initiated by the Regional Circularity Co-operative and concentrated on issues facing small scale market gardens.

Shani Keane, a local grower from Left Field Farm and Stepping Stone Farm, and a regular seller at the SAGE Farmers Market, attended this year’s Deep Winter Agrarian Gathering.

Shani kindly provided an interesting report for SAGE readers, including the Deep Winter Statement which was developed following consultation with the gathering.
