Here’s a great talk by a young girl from our primary school, Grace Mahon:

Grace entered the prestigious LandLearn NSW public speaking competition at the end of last year and she has been selected as a finalist to compete at the Dubbo Beef Spectacular on March 15.

You can read more about the competition at the NSW Rural Women’s Network site.

A must-see video of BBC’s Ethical Man visiting a pig farm in Las Vegas, where the pigs are raised on restaurant leftovers and then fed back to the restaurant patrons.

Here’s an awesome YouTube video about Novella Carpenter’s urban farm in West Oakland (California, USA). It’s got a lot of great info applicable to growing food and raising animals (for eggs, meat and dairy) in suburban and urban areas.
