Several weeks ago there was a request for Talking Biotech Podcast to interview Graeme Martin, University of Western Australia School of Animal Biology professor.ย Professorย Martin has a long career in animal reproductive biology, and in recent times has focused on how to test new strategies in supporting livestock, crops and the nationโ€™s resident biodiversity. His โ€œClean, Green and Ethicalโ€ approach to animal production dovetails with novel strategies to sustainably raise crops in no-till systems as part of the Future Farm 2050 Project.023-cover

The discussion describes some simple, logical, low-cost techniques to increase crop production with less impact on the environment and in the contextย of minimal water resources. This was a wonderful interview that jogs out-of-the-traditional thinking to address key issues in farm sustainability going forward.
