We step out of town, along the dusty gravel roads, to check out how some members of the farming community are working to keep water longer on the land.

The process is designed to lift carrying capacity and profit, boost diversity and improve landscape hydrology. This internationally recognised approach is being applied to properties around Australia.

So, what does this type of farming mean in practice, what can it do for river catchments, and how does it contribute to the work of local governments in the Namoi?

In this episode, we hear from holistic farmer and educator Craig Carter. Craig and his wife, Nicky Chirlian, own Tallawang, 445 hectares of mixed Grazing for Profit and Natural Sequence Farming.
