How artists are working with farmers and permaculture practitioners, past and present, to explore "intelligent design of landscapes."
"In 2013 Ian collaborated with artist Lucas Ihlein to produce an exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW about innovative Australian farmer and designer P.A. Yeomans and the Keyline farming system he developed to help regenerate the Australian landscape. By exhibiting Yeomans’ work at the Gallery, Ian and Lucas were demonstrating that the intelligent design of landscapes can also be considered as an artistic act."

Last weekend we took a permaculture class to Rosnay organic vineyard in Canowindra. There is nothing like eating grapes straight off the vine, knowing that you are not ingesting chemicals! Fortunately, researchers are now educating farmers about the folly of pursuing ever-greater crop yields using fertilizers and other chemicals and how farmland can be restored through natural methods; the most ecologically intact parts of the Australian continent are Aboriginal owned and managed, and a new generation of Indigenous land managers are using cultural and historical experience, as well as new technology and Western expertise, to care for their country; and, determined to also protect our social infrastructure, this weekthe Romanian people poured out onto the streets in mass protests and overturned corruption-enabling legislation.
