'Greener Horizons' - 5 Western Australian farmers share their experience with tree crops.

'Greener Horizons' - 5 Western Australian farmers tell their stories of how tree crops can improve the sustainability of their farms, their communities and the landscape.
In Western Australia lies an area twice the size of Tasmania, called the Avon Wheatbelt. Of the 12 million hectares of land, approximately 8 million have been cleared. This extensive clearing has lead to environmental problems including wind and water erosion, salinity, and loss of habitat.

Agriculture is the predominant industry for this region but with narrowing margins and a changing climate, many who live in the region are looking for other options to be able to keep farming while still looking after the environment.

Industry scale planting of tree crops not only addresses these environmental issues but will provide sufficient resources for new industries. This will result in income diversification for farmers and increase local job opportunities.

This video is of 5 Avon farming families telling their stories -- about how they are trying to heal the land while developing new and sustainable production systems for their future -- their children's future and the future of their communities.
We would like to thank Wheatbelt NRM for their vision for the health and sustainability of the Avon Region and for their sponsorship of this production.

Erect "T"shaped "pillars made of wood or metal etc on open spaces. When birds sit through their dropout seeds sow ,will reap the plants on large scale.

About planting trees, may I point you to an invention called the 'Waterboxx'? This device is designed to make trees grow in the desert without irrigation. I guess it could be useful in Australia. The company which produces the Waterboxx is called GROASIS. If you want to know if and how it works, there are a lot of videos on the Waterboxx on RUclips. Thank you.

Plant tall,spreading shadows useful trees from the seeds fruits flowers of which get daily needs ,income to get cooperation from native peoples. Why not try planting tall ,useful trees from sea-coast area.taking advantage of SEA WATER. That will fasten the result of the project. Then move ahead inside the regions.
