Inspired by Charles Massy’s best-selling book “Call of the Reed Warbler”, filmmaker Amy Browne set out across the dry farming country of South East NSW to meet Massy and the other trailblazing farmers bringing new life to their land. Regenerative agriculture is one of the most promising wide-scale environmental solutions. This short documentary is a comprehensive journey through a variety of landscapes and regenerative farming techniques. ‘From the Ground Up’ is a story of genuine change and inspiration – tracing the steps of individuals who transformed their practices following the life-changing realisation – that farmers have a unique opportunity to heal the planet.

So what we need to do is to reframe the world debate now. So that those who are involved with planetary survival, climate chaos, oceans at risk, soil at risk. They adopt the message that nature is at risk. We can’t do it. These people here and a handful of others. We’re the anti GMO national figures in the United States and Canada? We’re not going to do it. We’re not going to be able to protect nature in this generation ourselves, but we can create the educational information, the assets, and give it to the majority of people in the world who now believe that climate chaos is a reality. And ask them to add this protection Because if we solve the problem of climate change, if we solve the problem with the oceans, if we protect the soils, we still might lose the natural world we cherish. And so our focus now is to protect all living beings and all future generations.
And you can’t do that just at the grocery store when we’re talking about genetically engineered microorganisms or algae or flowers or fish. It’s got to be holistic, in addition to consumer education. It has to be policy, international treaties, litigation, legislation, media, social media. And we need to use the infrastructure of the existing organizations that are already fertile in desiring to protect all future generations from whatever they’re looking at, climate chaos, ocean issues, et cetera. And simply have them adopt this new framing. So I, at the end of this panel, I’m going to give a phone number that you can text the word, JOIN to, and then we will send you information, how you can help us populate this message throughout the world. And the payoff is protecting all living beings and all future generations.

– They led the largest slave revolt in U.S. history.
– They secured the only emancipation of rebellious slaves prior to the U.S. Civil War.
– The formed the largest mass exodus of slaves across the United States and, ultimately, to Mexico.
Learn more about this remarkable story that has been overlooked by Hollywood, popular culture, and even historians. This group of freedom fighters—who ultimately found peace, liberty, and prosperity—is worth remembering.
Welcome to Transition Studies. To prosper for very much longer on the changing Earth humankind will need to move beyond its current fossil-fueled civilization toward one that is sustained on recycled materials and renewable energy. This is not a trivial shift. It will require a major transition in all aspects of our lives.
This weblog explores the transition to a sustainable future on our finite planet. It provides links to current news, key documents from government sources and non-governmental organizations, as well as video documentaries about climate change, environmental ethics and environmental justice concerns.
The links are listed here to be used in whatever manner they may be helpful in public information campaigns, course preparation, teaching, letter-writing, lectures, class presentations, policy discussions, article writing, civic or Congressional hearings and citizen action campaigns, etc. For further information on this blog see: About this weblog. and How to use this weblog.
