Reducing Green Waste in the Granite Belt

During the coldest month of the year, Jess Uhlig from Green Food Australia and Lara rugged up to visit Stanthorpe and the Granite Belt Growers to talk value add and green waste on farm.  As a result of the Growcom funded project, the Granite Belt Growers Association, participating farmers and the local Southern Downs Regional Council have come together to collaborate on a new project under the confident guidance of Jess.  The collaboration will reduce green waste on farms and create new humisoil piles which will improve soil quality in the region.  You can learn more about the work that Jess does and the project at https://greenfoodaustralia.com.au/
