The Artist Farmer Scientist newspaper has arrived!

The Artist Farmer Scientist newspaper has arrived!

It’s 56 pages long, raw and wriggling, and it has a free pull-out poster. We have finally published the newspaper that tells the story of ‘An artist, a farmer and a scientist walk into a bar’, and we’d love to share it with you.

Farmers in Flux

It’s funny how time gets away from you. This year I took the big leap to study full-time Honours in Ecology at UNE, and while I am loving every minute of it, my brain is too full of measuring pasture groundcover and landscape function to make space for anything else. And so, despite my best intentions I am yet to publish my farmer stories for ‘Farmers in Flux’.

The Grazing Game

The Grazing Game

Imogen Semmler and Judi Earl have cooked up something fabulous: The Grazing Game. How do you maintain a healthy ecosystem in your paddocks, weather drought, withstand market fluctuations and other curve balls, while making a living from keeping livestock? Imogen got Cementa punters to wear their strategy hats last November at the first trial of the Game.

Farmers in Flux continued

Imogen has been hanging out with some very intrepid and ambitious folk lately. Here she leads us deeper into her Farmers in Flux project, introducing four farmers who are on very different journeys towards ecological stewardship and regenerative change.

5 years ago, Imogen Semmler left the wacky world of festival production and art making to pursue an Ecology degree at UNE in Armidale. Now, with a vast soil science knowledge bank in her back pocket, she is pursuing a project that bridges these two worlds.
