<p>Continuing our Farming For Health series, today I am again joined by Alasdair Bednall. Alasdair is the chief educator and consultant with Entangled Edible Ecosystems, A syntropic agroforestry, food forest and permaculture consultancy organisation, based near the Blue Mountains in NSW.</p> <p>He joins me today to discuss grasslands and forests. We cover what succession is, why certain farming practices are better suited for either grasslands or forests, why disturbance is so important to the health of an ecosystem, what the aims of Syntropic Agroforestry are, the nuances of context, the issues with forcing practices onto land, the various macro trends determining if land wants to be a forest or a grassland and much more.</p> <p>You can find Alasdair on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/entangled_edible_ecosystems/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Instagram </a>or <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554767097459" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Facebook </a>at Entangled_Edible_Ecosystems and stay up to date for when his next workshop will be.</p> <p>This is a great information rich and important conversation. I hope you enjoy.</p> <p>Remember to like, share, comment, rate and subscribe or give your Love in any way you see fit.</p> <p>Thanks to Alasdair for joining me for part three of our Farming For Health series.</p> <p>On The Sacred Lab front, I have put out a new blog post on the substack, <a href="http://sacredlab.substack.com">sacredlab.substack.com</a>, called Step 1, breath - where I make the case for implementing a breathwork practice into our lives and list out some of the ways I have benefited. It is a new series I am starting and this is part 1 of step 1, part 2 will be out on Wednesday the 21st, which will be more about the science of breathing and the psychological, physiological and spiritual changes that an intentional practice brings.</p> <p>I also released a reading of part 1 of my Spirit In The Everyday series, the first part being Altars. You can find that where you are currently listening to this.</p> <p>As always, thank you so much for being a part of this show and for engaging with this material. Together let us solve the woes of the world, apprenticing to wise folk, like Alasdair Bednall.</p> <p>Enjoy this conversation, which was recorded at my property in the Dandenong Ranges. Next week I will release the video recording portion.</p> <p>Without further ado, here is Farming For Health part 3. </p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@thesacredlab" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Medium</a><a href="instagram.com/thesacredlab" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Instagram</a></p> <p><a href="facebook.com/the.sacred.lab" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Facebook</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/thesacredlab/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Linkedin</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/TheSacredLab" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Twitter</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Thanks to Maggie Alley for the Intro music.
