[QUOTE="Farmer Roy, post: 6522156, member: 71668"] Ive said that a few times on TFF but never had any favourable reactions . . . over here, agriculture is under threat in many areas by the fossil fuels / resources industry. A lot of our best land and water supplies are sitting above coal & gas resources. In Australia, mineral rights belong to the State, not the land owner. Open cut coal mining & Coal Seam Gas Fracking are two major threats not only to agriculture, but our underground water aquifers, our environment & are MAJOR contributors to climate change. OUR agriculture is already feeling the effects of climate change & we realise that worse is yet to come. We also realise that we can be a major part of the solution. My very own area is one such under threat, we have been battling State Government & the coal & gas industries for well over 10 years now The ONLY positive thing to come out of this is that 3 very diverse groups - farmers, environmentalists & indigenous peoples have realised they had more in common than they thought & have come together, joined forces to fight this threat. With the growing adoption of more regenerative agricultural principles & practices, those ties will hopefully only get stronger. this clip ( & all the following ones ) is about a proposed mine 7km upstream from me on a floodplain [MEDIA=youtube]J-71FkhMhuQ[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
