Visit the Farmer Showcase Exhibit and meet the farmers, hear the stories and buy their products! Dr Maarten Stapper is a farming systems agronomist whose main focus is helping farmers improve the profitability of their operations by harnessing the power of natural healthy soil processes. After working for thirty years as a research agronomist on four continents, Maarten has become an advocate of biological and organic farming systems.  Through Maarten’s research, discussions with Landcare groups and farmers, he has come to the belief that science must take a broader view to achieve the sustainable development of agricultural industries. Dr Maarten Stapper Maarten proposes that to achieve this we have to look at the whole farming system - where everything is linked to everything else. Maarten believes that biological agriculture leads to higher biodiversity on farms and a greatly reduced impact on catchment environments.  This process can achieve a doubling of organic carbon content of the soil, and, if practised Australia-wide, could capture most CO2 released in the country and slow climate change.   Maarten will tour the North Coast following SoilCare Expo. details 'Healthy Soil - Healthy Food' Details out soon!
