Overall, our research challenges the perception that profitable farming and biodiversity can’t go hand in hand. Our research shows investing in natural capital actually stacks up financially. And the more we embrace this view the better off our economy, and environment, will be.

If only more farmers in the region I live in would pay attention.

Unfortunately, the typical Australian rural person (not even just farmers) are backwards fucking morons

I say this as someone living in regional Australia

I watched cotton farmers destroy the environment, and then whine when they were wiped out by floods and land stripped of nutrients

I watch the hunger for ever-greater profits cause the very animals that make the profit die in the millions

And it's driven by the owners of the farms, who aren't even Australian, and they boast of their record profits to the employees who they exploit

I fucking hate them, and I'm working to get out, and hopefully be able to do something to enact change
