Gabrielle Chan author of 'Why You Should Give an F*ck about Farming' speaks about farming practices, policy and the economic and environmental implications of decisions made by politicians decades ago with Michelle Michels on Bay FM Eco Futures
Gabrielle speaks about her latest book. Her background includes being an Australian parliament press gallery journalist, a columnist and blogger forThe Gaurdian currently and a farmers wife. She tells us what she knows about farming, politics and policy that affects faring and supply chains. Farming sits at the intersection of the world's biggest challenges around climate change, soil, water, energy, natural disasters and zoonotic diseases. Yet Australia has no national food policy. No national agriculture strategy. Our water policy is close to the Hunger Games. People with means can shop at farmers' markets and order brunch, by the provenance of their eggs, bacon, butter, tomatoes and greens. But do they really understand the trade-offs required to grow it? In this book Gabrielle Chan examines the past, present and future of farming with her characteristically forensic eye. She lays out how our nation, its leaders, farmers and eaters. https://www.penguin.com.au/books/why-you-should-give-a-fck-about-farming-9781760899332 (https://www.penguin.com.au/books/why-you-should-give-a-fck-about-farming-9781760899332)

Birdlife Australia's conservation program for Regent Honey Eater : Mick Roderick Ecologist speaks with Michelle Michels about the critically endangered Regent Honeyeater breeding program and recent release 5 min listen
Dr. Mick Roderick speaks to Michelle Michels about the Regent Honeyeater captive bred release program he assisted with in his role as an ecologist with Birdlife Australia. The program is vital in trying to halt the extinction of small yellow spotted Australian native. The Recovery Team has released 58 captive bred birds in release program in the Hunter Valley NSW. They have been working alongside the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment, Taronga Zoo Conservation Society Australia, Mindaribba Local Aboriginal Land Council (LALC) and other local stakeholders to coordinate this release. At best, there are just a few hundred Regent Honeyeaters left in the wild – with much of their population limited to NSW. With their numbers so critically low, captive breeding and release could mean the difference between extinction and survival.
