Internationally renowned soil ecologist Dr Christine Jones .
“ Christine explained the science behind creating healthy soils and pastures and it was interesting to hear how having more diversity in pastures , including broadleaf plants and tubers , will help support the microbes that create fertile soil .
“ I ’ m keen to try this on parts of our property . We ’ ll have to adopt a grazing system to help manage this diversity , and to help build and improve soil structure . It ’ s worth trialling .”
