Regenerating Farming
The Common Ground Project is a regenerative farm and social enterprise just outside Geelong that promotes food security by creating fair access to locally grown, healthy food. The farm has regenerated degraded pasture land into fertile and productive land. The farm not only offers an inclusive space for growing, but also cooking, knowledge sharing, and ongoing community collaboration. Common Ground Project provides hands-on workshops, training and employment pathways through Food Knowledge programs, which directly support Food Relief efforts in the Geelong region. https://www.commongroundproject.com.au/

Fence me in - geospatially!
SaFencing is the world’s first certified geofencing system for off-road applications that fully complies with the Machine Directive 2006/42/CE. It can be plugged into your existing equipment and with centimetre accuracy, the new technology keeps autonomous farm equipment safely within a confined space, reducing the need for supervision. The AGC box can guide a single robot or a fleet of robots,  constantly calculating the best trajectories on-farm while avoiding obstacles and all the while communicating with you on your smartphone or a tablet. https://www.agreenculture.net/en/agcbox

Discarded sheep wool for fertiliser pellets
When producing high quality beautiful yarn nearly 40%  of the original fleece can be discarded. Traditionally, this “dodgy” wool is dumped at tips (usually in plastic bags). The discarded wool which is biodegradable and rich in nutrients is now being made into garden fertiliser pellets. A crowdfunding campaign enabled the NSW mill owners to buy the equipment they need to make the pellets. These natural pellets are good for the soil and prevent wool and plastic going to landfill. https://rb.gy/fnatd8

Most Americans  would love an alternative to their pumpkins sitting on the ground and rotting after Halloween.Hurling pumpkins is an evolving pastime throughout the USA creating a challenging and innovative sport for all ages. Pumpkin chucking utilizes mechanical intervention for distance. Devices include sling shots, catapults, centrifugals, trebuchets, and pneumatic (air) cannons.The pumpkins are organic and environmentally friendly after they succumb to gravity."Punkin Chunkin" competitions, formal and informal, are held in the United States in the fall and  in early November .Delaware typically hosts the world championships.
