In this episode of GROUNDED Live, we close out the GROUNDED Festival 2025 program with a very special, very free-wheeling session. If you’ve been to the last couple of GROUNDED festivals — in Tasmania or WA — you’ll already know Dan Kittredge. Dan pioneered the modern concept of nutrient density, asking the deceptively simple question: What’s actually in our food, and does it matter? His work has shaped conversations around soil health, plant health and human health across the globe. This ses...

GROUNDED Live - 2025: Ian & Di Haggerty - What’s it Like being Western Australians of the Year, & Farmers?

In this episode of GROUNDED Live, we continue sharing unedited sessions recorded at GROUNDED Festival 2025 on farm in Bridgetown, Western Australia. Across Australia, some of the deepest knowledge about landscapes is held by elders — farmers and First Nations people whose lived experience stretches across decades and across Country. Too often, that wisdom isn’t given a platform. So when we learned that Ian and Di Haggerty had just been named 2025 West Australians of the Year, we knew we wante...

GROUNDED Live - 2025: David Watson - Why Farm Landscapes are Critical for Safeguarding Wildlife

There’s a persistent belief in Australia — and around the world — that farming and nature sit on opposite sides of a divide. That ecological harmony belongs “out there” in national parks, while food production happens elsewhere. But the truth is far more interesting, and far more hopeful. In this session, we hear from Professor David Watson, an ecologist whose work spans birds, mistletoe, woodland ecosystems and the complex relationships between species. (If you haven’t yet, make sure to list...

GROUNDED Live - 2025: Heidi Mippy, Di & Ian Haggerty - First Nations Integration into the Food System

In this episode of GROUNDED Live, we share another unedited session from GROUNDED Festival 2025, recorded on farm in Bridgetown, Western Australia. A question that arises often in Australian agriculture is: How can farmers meaningfully engage with First Nations people — and what does genuine collaboration actually look like? For this session, we wanted to move beyond theory and bring together people already walking that path. This conversation, First Nations Integration into the Food System, ...

GROUNDED Live - 2025: Joshua Gilbert - Unpacking Australia’s Agricultural Identity

In this episode of GROUNDED Live, we return to the unedited sessions recorded at GROUNDED Festival 2025 on farm in Bridgetown, Western Australia. While putting together the program, one new release immediately stood out: Australia’s Agricultural Identity, a powerful and thought-provoking book by Josh Gilbert — a Worimi man, farmer, author and advocate from the Hunter Valley, NSW. His perspective on agriculture, identity, culture and the future of farming felt too important to miss. So we brou...

GROUNDED Live - 2025: David Pollock - Farming On The Edge

In this episode of GROUNDED Live, we feature David Pollock, a rangelands farmer from Western Australia - and one of the most refreshingly honest voices in Australian agriculture. The bio he sent us in the lead up to the event is worth repeating here: “Despite his laziness and general lack of knowledge, David took over the degraded family station because it seemed like his best bet for making a difference. After 18 years, he’s achieved more than he’d hoped. Pretty much all of his loc...
