Starting her career with UWA in the 1970s, Lynette Abbott - Emerita Professor at the UWA Institute of Agriculture, ventured down the research path of ‘soil health’ when the term didn’t yet exist. On a dive into soil health 101, Lyn explains how her career has examined the biological, chemical, and physical components of soil and how they are all connected in the bigger picture for WA farmers. In this episode, we explore how an interest in plant growth led to Lyn’s pioneering career in soil biology, from unravelling plant root pathology to understanding the intricacies between fungi and soil types, as well as educating the next generation of soil experts at UWA.

What exactly is Fertilizer Australia’s White Paper? The White Paper isn’t just a document; it’s a roadmap towards sustainable agriculture and is an important one for growers across the country to be aware of. After extensive research into international emissions regulations, the White Paper provides the Australian Government with advice on the effects of nitrogen fertiliser use and its impact on greenhouse gas emissions. But the question on many people's minds, why focus on just nitrogen over other emissions? Hear from Stephen Annells (Executive Manager - Fertilizer Australia) and Rob Norton (Associate Professor (Hon) - The University of Melbourne, School of Agriculture, Food and Ecosystem Sciences) on how the White Paper proposes strategies that enhance nitrogen use efficiency through technology and improved farming practices.

When will Agtech bring an end to working 20-hour days at seeding and harvest time, so farmers can spend quality time with family and watch the cricket? When will there be an automatic gate opener that’s failsafe and affordable? And how might agricultural robotics automation regenerate regional towns by creating a whole new crop of boots-on-the-ground skilled local jobs?   Our host Grey Johnston caught up with Innovation Cluster’s Managing Director and Co-Founder of Agristart, Tash Teakle, to find out how their programs are connecting researchers and tech start-ups with growers to trial innovations, putting technology and data in the hands of farmers and, ultimately, reduce costs, improve yield and make life easier on the farm.  Cunderdin-born and raised, with a PhD in Plant Biology and a background as an agricultural scientist, Tash is an experienced researcher, facilitator, grant writer and innovation specialist keen to share her passion for advancing Agtech and agrifood in WA.    Find out what’s happening in WA’s leading business development program, Agristart HARVEST (proudly sponsored by CSBP), while our farmers are busy harvesting. Discover why WA is well-placed as a testbed and hotbed for innovation in everything from alternative protein food technology to robotics automation. And what’s got Tash really excited about Asia Pacific's premier agrifood innovation event, AgriFutures evokeAG, coming to WA in 2024?  Want to know more about Innovation Cluster’s Agristart, the HARVEST program and AgriFutures evokeAG 2024?

You’ve no doubt spotted the vivid Blue Trees of the Blue Tree Project around regional WA. But what they stand for is something incredibly meaningful for mental health support and awareness – a visual reminder to check in with ourselves, our loved ones and mates who may be going through a tough time. In this episode dedicated to Mental Health Week (7-14 October), Blue Tree Project Founder and CEO (and 2022 Young Australian of the Year WA) Kendall Whyte joins our host Grey Johnston to talk about the positive impact of these iconic Blue Trees to spark conversations, change deeply engrained attitudes and prejudices and create a more mentally healthy future for our communities. Kendall explains how it all started as a grassroots movement in 2019 to help others avoid suffering the pain of loss her own family has experienced; how the movement has spread across WA, Australia and all continents (just Antarctica left to conquer); and how their mission has branched out, getting boots on the ground in regional WA to grow community engagement, deliver awareness sessions and facilitate training. Touching on the themes of this year’s Mental Health Week (Mind. Body. Environment.), Kendall also shares some of the ways we can help ourselves and others take better care of mind and body and take steps to build a supportive environment around us.

Want to know what the West Midlands Group is doing differently with their cropping and pasture soil amelioration and crop rotations? Our host Grey Johnston was delighted to welcome Dr. Nathan Craig, Executive Officer of the West Midlands Group (WMG) in the studio to share WMG’s trials progress and some of the major outcomes delivered across the local shires of Dandaragan, Coorow, Gingin and Moora. The West Midlands Group formed in 2003 and then in 2008 pivoted its focus towards agricultural research and development to find solutions to the broader on-farm natural resource issues that affect production. In 2017, Dr. Nathan Craig joined the fold and has helped sharpen the group’s focus even more on producing high-quality data from local field trials to support the decision-making processes of their 350+ members. In this episode, Dr. Craig tells us a bit about his own farming journey, from mixed enterprise farm management to his PhD from UWA on ‘Plant available nitrogen in monoculture wheat under long-term no-tillage.’ He also gives us his take on how the season’s progressing in the West Midlands and how they’re supporting group members.
