Life on Planet A
#60: Tropical Rainforests, Sugar-gliders, Muesli & Gin with Will Brook
For Ep2 of Regenerative Farming month Heidi and Bella are taking you on a virtual road-trip to Brookfarm in the hinterlands of Byron Bay - think birds tweeting, owls hooting and juicy macadamies falling softly to the ground. We're speaking with Will Brook, CEO of Brookfarm and member of the Book family, about how the family has restored the land to its native sub-tropical rainforest and made sustainable choices in every aspect of their journey.
You'll learn:
- What is regenerative farming to Brookfarm?
- How can farms control pests without pesticides?
- What is Roll 'N' Recycle and why you should be excited for it
- Can I walk through the rainforest, learn about regenerative agriculture and sip GnT? (YES)
