From drought to bushfires to La Nina, to a global pandemic – Eurobodalla’s local food growers work to feed our community, renourishing the soil and bio-systems they tend.
Country and climate are at the heart of what they do each and every day.
EVERY changing season!
” Use your vote to fight for our climate. Our farmers, food and future depend on it. “
Farmer Eliza Cannon – Borrowed Ground growers
” We find ourselves in the beautiful riverside town of Moruya on the South-East Coast of New South Wales, Australia. The farm is located on Yuin Country where many different groups of salt water peoples have inhabited and sustainably cared for the South Coast for thousands of years before us and continue to do so as each day passes. “
“Globalized industrialized food is not cheap: it is too costly for the Earth, for the farmers, for our health. The Earth can no longer carry the burden of groundwater mining, pesticide pollution, disappearance of species and destabilization of the climate. Farmers can no longer carry the burden of debt, which is inevitable in industrial farming with its high costs of production. It is incapable of producing safe, culturally appropriate, tasty, quality food. And it is incapable of producing enough food for all because it is wasteful of land, water and energy. Industrial agriculture uses ten times more energy than it produces. It is thus ten times less efficient.”
