Charles Massy in conversation with Kelly Lee Hickey Radical farmer, scientist and author Charles Massy explores transformative and regenerative agriculture and the vital connection between our soil and our health. Massy always uses personal experience as a touchstone – from an unknowing, chemical-using farmer with dead soils to a radical ecologist farmer carefully regenerating a 2000-hectare property to a state of natural health. Into evocative stories of innovative farmers, he interweaves his own local landscape, its seasons and biological richness, to create a moving and often lyrical story, a powerful and moving paean of hope. This writers' talk took place as part of the 2019 NT Writers' Festival--Alice Springs, Lyapirtneme | Return, brought to you by the NT Writers' Centre.
