78. Sustainable Table and Soil Health: Sally Fields on Permaculture Herbalism
Sally Fields is a fifth-generation farmer from a long line of farmers, gardeners, and animal keepers. She cut her teeth in the Brigalow Belah scrub of Southwest Queensland on the family property “Mirri Mirri” in Barunggam country. On her pony Dolly and a big red quad, Sally learnt to hunt, muster sheep and cattle, and roam the land. It was here, in her parents' footsteps, that she cultivated a deep love of the country and its critters.
Studying a Rural Science degree, Sally tracked into a career in agronomy. Consulting and farming in many countries and enterprises. The past five years have seen her project managing Healthy Farming Futures, where she empowered farmers through workshops, conferences, field days and mentoring for improved land outcomes.
Sally now heads up the Atherton Tablelands Integrated Collaboration (ATIC) as project director for Sustainable Table and the Office of the Great Barrier Reef (OGBR).
We discuss soil health and cover cropping, the Mulungu herb for better sleep and how she is bridging permaculture and traditional land-based enterprises towards regenerative farming by showcasing farmers on their journey with peer-to-peer knowledge transfer.
