BEYOND BROADACRES
THE WEEKLY TIMES
ANYONE INTERESTED IN ALTERNATIVE FARMING AND AGRICULTURE MUST HAVE THIS BOOK.
A unique examination of those agricultural industries generally labelled alternative - it suggests these industries are just extensions of Australian agricultural innovation. Alpacas, wildflowers, yabbies and organics are no more 'alternative' than were merinos, murray greys and canola when they first appeared on Australian Broadacres. It unravels some of the mystery about these new industries and provides some exciting food for thought for those people embarking on agricultural adventures. 144 pages
