What’s this episode about?
This episode is all about how women are exploring a holistic approach to their interaction with land management.
Working on “one paddock a time” can be a sustainable way to achieve change, understand your motivations, and become part of the farming ecosystem.
Nikki and Peter Thompson, who live north of Roma (Queensland), are focused on ensuring expert agricultural knowledge remains on the land.
Key takeaways
The biggest change happens “between the ears”.
Sometimes you can be blind to the fact change (and progress) is happening.
Having a support group is invaluable.
