Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Nature’s army: Using functional biodiversity for biocontrol in orchards, with Dr Mary Retallack
Q: How applicable are these practices to perennial crops beyond grapes, and what are the take-home messages for growers?
Practices are broadly applicable to orchards and other perennials; the key is to move toward soil health, a polyculture approach, and longer-term thinking that improves resilience and productivity across perennial systems.
Nature’s army: Using functional biodiversity for biocontrol in orchards, with Dr Mary Retallack
Q: Did the grower jump straight into the new practice, and what kind of support did they need to move to multi-species native cover crops?
Growers often face initial challenges in seed sourcing and equipment, but access to quality native seed, appropriate seeding methods, and site preparation are crucial; with time and supporting data from case studies, adoption becomes more feasible.
Nature’s army: Using functional biodiversity for biocontrol in orchards, with Dr Mary Retallack
Q: And when you say stacked enterprises, what are some examples of that?
Stacked enterprises involve creating multiple income streams within the same production system by leveraging biodiversity and ecosystem services, such as seed production from native species or selling bio-control services, alongside the primary crop.
Nature’s army: Using functional biodiversity for biocontrol in orchards, with Dr Mary Retallack
Q: Maybe you could start by just explaining a little bit about what functional biodiversity means.
Functional biodiversity refers to the variety of species in an ecosystem and the diverse, specific roles they perform; it's about how organisms function and interact to maintain ecosystem services, productivity, and resilience rather than simply counting species.
Milk, the original superfood, with Matthew Evans
Q: How amazing to have that on hand. What is your milking schedule look like with two cows in the family?
He explains a structured routine where he milks two cows, moves them, cleans the dairy, skims milk, and uses byproducts, highlighting the time commitment and care involved in small-scale dairy farming.
