Inspiring The World About Soil and Plant Health: Mick Alexander at TEDxRockhampton

Mick Alexander is a pasture and grazing specialist who works within the Queensland and New South Wales agricultural industry. He is passionate about grazing and farming best practices, and will be speaking about how healthy soil relates to healthy humans -- how farmers and agriculture are a solution for the future.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

This is the basis of all pasture and farming systems and I am amazed that more people are not talking about it on a daily basis. We need our politicians to take it on-board.

Nuclear powered desalination with pipe networks everywhere. PS going to other planets and making most of absolute minimum in life and death situations would have so many spin off's for here on earth.

This is very informative. It also raises many questions about the unhealthy farming practices that still seem dominant in large-scale industrial agriculture and in smaller operations as well.
