Nick Ritar’s TEDx Canberra Talk: Two things you can do Every Day to save the world. Recently Nick gave a talk at TEDx Canberra.
He talked about stewarding nutrients, how we can solve the problem of peak phosphorous, and about how to grow the best cumquats ever. Yes, Nick was talking about why taking responsibility for our poo and our wee, our most basic waste streams, is so crucial to our future. For a long time, a mark of superiority in some cultures has been how far you can get your shit away from you. But now, we need it back.

Stable, healthy and productive landscapes and soils are essential for producing most of our food, and for maintaining environmental function, managing water quality, sustaining our primary industries, and supporting rural and urban communities.
Our rural landscape is under continuing pressure. Acidification, salinity, erosion, invasive native scrub and loss of native vegetation are seriously affecting the condition of our soil and challenging the communities and industries that depend on the land.
