SUMMARY
The power of worm juice
Nutrisoil is an organically certified concentrated worm liquid that is produced using a unique vermiculture recycling system. It is distributed and wholesaled direct to farmers across Australia. We visit the family run business, based at Baranduda near Wodonga in Victoria to find out how it is made and how it works in the paddock.

Why do people choose to work in Soil carbon and regen
Consumers and farmers are becoming increasingly aware of the connection between the soil health, food production, the gut microbiome and human health. The opportunity to adopt regenerative farming practices to sequester more carbon in healthy soils makes a lot of sense.
To find out what is drawing new people into this space I spoke with three women working with AgriProve during a training exercise to drive the company’s new tractor and Soilkee Pasture Renovator.
Theresa Chapman - Tasmanian Soils Ecologist,
Melanie Addinsall - Soil Carbon Project Officer Vic
Kate Carmichael - Soil Carbon Project Officer NSW
Jamie Olsen - Soilkee Contractor West Gippsland.
