Home-grown alternatives to the fertiliser squeeze

Fertiliser supply is tight and prices keep climbing, which has a lot of growers asking a fair question: do we have to rely on imported product at all?

This Landline episode from Tim Lee goes looking for answers on-farm. It visits farmers who are building their own fertility solutions and stepping back from imported inputs.

Farmers Grant Sims and Kate Mirams featured, along with Soils for Life CEO Eli Court, talks about how soil health and biology are powerful solutions to reduce dependence on inputs and vulnerability to supply chain disruptions.
