Sustainability in a macadamia orchard. Episode 47

'Low Input Sustainable Agriculture' (LISA) focuses on holistic farming practices that prioritise soil health to promote healthy plant growth. By adopting this approach, and increasing biodiversity with cover crops, such as sunflowers and hemp, farmers can create significant benefits for the ecosystem. In this episode, self-proclaimed regenerative farmer and macadamia grower, Ross Arnett, explains his approach to LISA, and shares the simple, yet effective, practices he has implemented into his orchard in New South Wales.
